GARY F 508 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 possibly a pontiac or buick would be the same. infact it looks just like the one i have on my 63 bonne. Link to post Share on other sites
Hurst_Olds_1968 0 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 I bought the 61-62 Pontiac full size and it did not fit. Maybe the 1963 is different? http://www.oldsobsolete.com/products-page/pontiac-parts-for-sale/1961-pontiac-parts-for-sale/1961-1962-pontiac-accessory-fuel-tank-filler-door-guard-unit-nos-983669/ Link to post Share on other sites

I compared pictures to the Olds on and the correct one (pictured above) has a longer top edge. The search continues... Karl Sup is going to keep his eyes open at the Nats for them as well as for door edge guards... Edited July 11, 2016 by Hurst_Olds_1968 (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

Hurst_Olds_1968 0 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I am still looking. I did find out that the No-mar number is 15-531 if that helps Link to post Share on other sites
rocketraider 428 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Someone DID have one for 63-64 at Nats.. Thought about you but knew it wasn't what you needed. The 63-4 runs along the bottom edge only instead of up the side of the filler door. Link to post Share on other sites
Hurst_Olds_1968 0 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thank you for keeping your eyes open for me, I appreciate it. Link to post Share on other sites
D Yaros 205 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It looks like this 98 has a gas door guard on it? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5749663301.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hurst_Olds_1968 0 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) It does! Thank you, I will call him. Maybe he will sell it off the car. Edited August 25, 2016 by Hurst_Olds_1968 additional info added (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
Hurst_Olds_1968 0 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 So I spoke with this guy, Hollywood Hank is his name, he is a used car saleman. He called me I told him I was interested in the gas door guard. He asked me how much I would pay I told him $45 as long as it wasn't dented. He says ok, I have 1 guy supposedly coming to look at the car over the weekend, if he doesn't take it I will let you know. Last Monday I sent him a message asking if it sold, he has the guy never showed up. I asked again about the guard, he says, I decided not to remove the part.... I explained that it was not a factory part but dealer installed, he still declined..... sigh, the search continues... Thanks Dave! Link to post Share on other sites

Thanls Dave... it took some time, but I had a feeling that a friend of mine who has a 62 Starfire convertible might have had one. He did and it was already trimmed to fit the Starfire. He lives 2.5 miles from my house. I was hoping to bump into him at the local cruise night... we kept missing each other. He works all different shifts, so I didn't want to call him.

rocketraider 428 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I hadn't considered it would have to be trimmed to fit around the Starfire upper body trim. Anyway, glad you found it, looks good and will give you some protection from gas nozzles. Now if we could just protect our cars from this stuff that flows THRU the gas nozzles...
