Is this from a GTO? it has no markings, other than a sticker (51M) on the side and most of the writing is gone.

i picked this up at a swap meet and knew it was Pontiac but not sure i think perhaps a 64-65?

Any help and insight would be appreciated. Value? Yes it works i tested it, it also works quite well.






Thanks all.

In the 64 - 67 range, could be big car depending on the size of the grille, hard to tell from the picture.

what would help figure it out? dimensions etc?

Looks to be the A-Body.
Should be aprox 10.75X4.75 overall.

Your defroster unit is identical to the unit I pulled out of a wrecked '65 LeMans in the mid '80's. I just went out to the garage and looked to verify it. My grille looks exactly like yours. But, in my great wisdom, I left all the wiring and the switch in the junked car! I never did get around to installing it.....

Ya those are the dimensions. whats this thing worth?

[Jeff Hamlin]

As is $100 & up. If you had the switch and all, more.
Like anything it really depends on who wants it & how bad at the time.

That (5 1 m ) that you list looks like a Delco date code m-dec 1-1st 5- 65

As Jeff stated, it depends, but what I see isn't worth $100 to me, maybe $50. The switch would help the value, especially if it's a '64, one year only switch. A complete wiring harness would help. The other thing that hurts the value is it looks like the plastic plate that goes between the grille and the fan is broken. They're very fragile. Intact would add to the value. I've bought more for less. I'm building a '64 with rear defroster and have bought a couple systems to piece mine together.

Also the same for 66 I believe. Looks to be the same as the one I had in my 1st 66 GTO back in 1970.

Hi,
I've got a '66 GTO, which I purchased new, with a rear window defogger and it looks EXACTLY like yours. So, it is a GTO. I think I had the dealer install mine, but I can't remember for sure. The purple wire is correct. The switch is a simple on-off switch is mounted to underside of the padded dash just to the left and above the speedometer. As a defogger/defroster, it wasn't all that effective, but for its day, it was better than nothing.
