Hello- Not actually a "lot purcghase"...I just was going to buy some from the mfr., to resell, since peopl always say they are looking for them. I was thinking 3-4, see how they do...but wanted to mention it here and see the response. Post here or by PM, still...thanks! ====== They look like the one on the red Ranchero in post #13 in this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314460&highlight=visor+falcon (same brand). Primered. ====== I have been working on sourcing some hard-to-find items, gearing up to resell them in the late Summer. 1=Falcon venetians from Australia, 2=Falcon Solid outside sunvisors and 2=mesh metal ones are some more. (Also from australia). I have had the information from the manufacturer, to buy the visors for a long time, but keep putting it off - theyre are a pain to get here. (Even before the economy dropped, and the exchange rate got worse). I wasn't too sure about the Falcon visors, on here. They are availble, brand new in Australia and they had a good shape to them. I think meybe people are hesitant to buy one from Australia for the same reason I was about buying one, initially... =EXPENSIVE SHIPPING (almost $100. for (1), last I knew)...+ =possible damage. =The sellers never say anything about them, like whether you have to drill holes. =I never knew anyone that bought one, are they good? ====== Now I have talked to someone in the USA who bought the brand I want to resell here: =they clamp on the drip rails, at the front. (No hole for a center bracket. =apprently they work well, and look pretty good. ====== ~~Other stuff I can have shipped over more easily, but I wanted to mention the visors here. Just to be clear... I don't want to organize a "group buy", and I don't want anything from anyone, or a definite "order". ~~I know money is tighter than a few months ago, and I wondered how many people would actually like to buy one of these Australian reproductions, if it were "easy". If 4,5,6 people think they are definitely interested, I'll put some $ into a small order for the Falcon visors. In Maybe August. Then they'd be available for sale. ====== I will tell you, you CAN get them from A couple of Australian dealers. There are some well-known Aussie sorces. (One sells venetians, visors, etc and sells on US ebay, too...but they still have to ship$ from Asustralia). They sell them for $270.AUD which today on www.xe.com is a little less than $225. US Dollars. Plus shipping. +I THINK it's about $100. US $ to get one over here. Maybe a little less. By the time I buy say, 4 at wholesale from the mfr., then ship them together for 30%-40% of what it costs to send (1), I can sell them for about $275. US and with domestic shipping...you'd be in it a little less than buying from autralia, I'm thinking. So about them same $, just easier. Let me know on here if anyone wants them, I'll get some in stock in a few weeks then! Thanks. Apparently these will fit: ( 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 ): falcon, Rachero Falcon Squire station wagon , the Futura of course...etc. ======
