Help me ID this mystery part please!
 
2 Attachment(s)
This metal panel came with my '67 400, no idea where it goes or what it does or whether I should just scrap it.

Some pics are attached, it measures ~51x7x3" and I cannot find a part number on it.

THANK YOU!

674

That is an air baffle that bolts to the bottom of the front valence. I don't think they are being reproduced in steel, so don't scrap it.

it's worth $200 +- on ebay,it helps keep the car cool,along with the two x fillers up top.

You have ended a very long mystery for me haha!

The X fillers I do not have, I thought those were for AC cars? Or should I have them being that my car is an original 400 car? If I need them can I buy those repo and where?

Thank you! I'm glad I kept all the goodies!!!

No, those aren't just for AC cars.
Yes, you should have them. They will aid in cooling, it directs air to the radiator.
Classic Industries and Ames, but I'm not too sure about our host.

I believe it was 400 cars and A/C cars?

Wow! 200+ on ebay, I've got a number of them.

LOL I think that might be the last part that's not reproduced

I'm on board with the cooling thing -- I have the X fillers and the pictured panel and I have no temp issues with a stock radiator and a built 455.

You should throw all those parts away.

I can give you the address that my garbage cans reside at! :D

Well I just paid $125 for a fiberglass one, and now I'm thinking I should send that thing back after I use it as a model and make my own out of sheetmetal.:rolleyes:

Azbirds,
I'd be interested in obtaining one of those panels. Shoot me a PM if you want to part one.

Thanks.
