[Don Rush]

The knob does not look right and a very hard part to find (the grille) is missing.

 

[Sir Purr]

Appreciate the insight, Don.

And you're probably going to have to drop your price before you see any significant interest. These show up all the time on ebay. I got my NOS one off ebay for $67 and another $75 for an NOS 69-70-specific dash switch.

 

[Don Rush]

He will get his price in time if the grille is found. Same grille was used on Mavericks, Granadas and even 70's AMC products! The knob bracket is correct and the knob is close, just should not have the silver insert but rather a plain black knob with white "defog" lettering. I have a cracked grille you can have for free if you want the system to look a little more complete.

 

[Sir Purr]

Thanks for the advice and the helpful info guys. I could not find one for sale to base an estimate on. Considering that, I figured it may be worth a few bucks if normally unavailable.

Tough to see in the pic, but "DEFOG" is in black lettering on the silver colored bezel face behind the knob. Not sure if that tells a more specific story or not.

 

[Sir Purr]

Reserve lowered to $201. FYI, in case anyone may be on the fence.

I have a grille $40.00 and nice too red4spd

Mr sir purr, and don..Question I have a few of these complete kits,marked for 67/68, so as shown in picture,its has the knob there, but no defogger written on it, It seems a few of the 69 cougars I have stripped have had the defogger on their switch or mount plate. So my question as Im taking it that Don would know this, why doesnt this kit have defogger written on the knob. I can open up some of the others and check too to see how they are marked. Hope this helps to clear up some of it, as this is a legit kit complete here,maybe its depends on what cars it was going into??

That is a 69 style knob, often service replacement parts differ from factory installed.

Thanks DON..Ill check them out and get the numbers off the parts and see what the grill says , good deal..thanks

 

[Sir Purr]

Any of you fellas interested in this package? What's fair? $150? :cyclops:

 

[leonbray]

I'd find a grille and give it another shot on ebay. There is one there now for $200 BIN

I picked up mine, with one broken slat on the grille, for $105

 

[c7xr7]

I picked up one of those defoggers on FleaBay about 2 years ago for $65, I think I was the only bidder. Knob was a little different than the one in your picture. I wonder what the correct knob is supposed to look like.

 

[ClawIt]

This should be it.

Here you go Don, the boxes i have that say are for 67/68 cougar, have these items inside of them with directions, the grill has the c8 number on it, the knobs look like this,and the rear defroster unit has this marking on the back of them. Wonder if they just threw all of this in boxes to make the kids for dealers. Just curious. thanks
