I bought a 69 GP SJ 6 years ago and it has been at the paint shop for 2 years. Doing a ground up restoration on this one. Had to wait for room to work if you know what I mean. I have purchased a lots of parts from Ames Performance and recently ask the tech there about the shifter plate. Question was: My existing plate with the "Model SJ" on it is chrome. Looks as though there might have been something on it like wood grain. The only reference he had was a black and white ad and couldn't tell if it was painted or wood grain. Anyone out there able to give me a true answer. Would certainly appreciate your help. Also been looking for new or very good condition front parking lights with the amber side markers. Anyone know where I might be able to get those. Thanks JFC.

 

I AM ON MY SECOND 72 GP . THE FIRST ONE I OWNED HAD THE SAME CHROME YOU DESCRIBED , THE SECOND THAT I NOW OWN HAS A SORT OF BLACK VELVET TYPE MATERIAL BUT LOOKS WORN. BUT I KNOW IT'S OEM. WHERE TO FIND GOOD LUCK! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE FRONT CORNER LAMPS CHECK THE SWAP MEETS. I FOUND A PAIR OF NOS FOR MY 72 FAIRLY CHEAP! IF YOUR LOOKING FOR JUST ONE THOUGH L AND R ARE NOT THE SAME GOOD HUNTING!
