NC-car-guy Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Looking for old, used, non-working battery but with the correct caps and such just for archival show. Need not hold a charge, just for the look. Picture for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 https://www.antiqueautobattery.com/batteries/gm/3ED-Delco.html I think I paid $125 for a 3EE at Tractor Supply for my last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Oh I know. But to get the period correct one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 If you have trouble finding one, use a sticker found on Ebay. This battery is a Energizer 3EE. Fortunately the flat surface on the battery where the sticker is placed is the exact size of the sticker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 With AAA membership I paid about $100 at NAPA for my 3EE for the 1954 Cadillac. I believe the above mentioned sticker will work on that one also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only needed 3 and bought 4 because one guy was selling 2 of them together. If someone needs one, I should be able to find the extra one that I bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone got smart and made some! The re-pops, not sure if the stick on would look good. The originals, need 2 more! Matt, have at them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
