Hi Dave,

I looked at my pieces and they are the same length as yours, and about 2" wide. The chrome is less than half the width. These definitely came off an 80 265 Gl because I's da guy what took 'em off.

I held one up to both a wagon and sedan, and I'm pretty sure they'd fit any 240.

I'm curious about this car, most of which I still have. It's chromed up to the yin yang. Besides these lower pieces, it's got chrome around the wheel wells, at the front edge of the hood and around the side lamps, the doors are chromed around the windows, as well as the door handle pockets.

We're all GL's of that vintage like this, or is this something peculiar to the 260's ? Maybe it was consolation for having bought an early PVR engine.

Peter
