Quick Update on 67 Badges The proof came back. Had to make a couple of minor adjustments. The pressing is virtually identical, and we're currently working on getting the colors as close as possible. I'm on proof #3 (#2 is pictured in the foreground).

I'm waiting on the "proof" to come back from the mint.

I'm happy to put y'all in touch with the company and have them make dies for 66. It's $200 a side for the dies.

Looks like there's little buzz out of the group, but I'm having 25 sets made. My cost is essentially $40 a piece. So, I will be selling them to 67 HCS owners with a Marti report. In fact, it might make a nice little addition to your Elite Marti Report (the framed one). I just blessed off the...

Hey Roadie, I am having reproduction 67 HCS badges made. They’ll be exact, but with a coat of lacquer to protect the brass. Once I get the estimate back I’ll let you know the price. -Patrick

Started a new thread for 67 HCS Fender Badges

Hi all, So I bought the set of NOS (in the bag) 67 High Country Special fender badges. I opened the bag (sorry) and sent one to a mint that makes military coins and hiking stick badges… ya know, like the ones you see at National Parks. I’m getting a rough estimate from the factory, but I...

Six months later Six months later, I finally notice this post....

Nothing like waiting a few months between posts ... Dan, If you ever happen to come across a set for 67, please let me know.

Dan, you don’t happen to have a line on a set of 67 badges, do you?

http://www.nwtmint.com/ When I ordered my Command coins I went back and forth with artists *several* times (and always relayed through the salesperson), but the final product was spectacular.

Wow. That's terrifying. Did you try Northwest Territory Mint or one of the companies that makes military challenge coins? I've done several coins through them (and they make more than coins). They are full-service. Might be worth checking out. Cost for art and tooling would be in the low...

*bump*. Any progress?

Any updates?

I have a 390 with headers, stainless steel all the way back, and Magnaflos at the end. Has the perfect sound for me (i.e. throaty, but not like my Harley). I'll post a video if I can find it...

Someone had a set of NOS badges, in the bag, posted on here a few years back. I wonder if they ever made it onto a car? Those should be your model.

I've had American Collectors Insurance since 2010 (pushed over from USAA, who doesn't do "classics" anymore). No problems. Only claim has been a tow. Estimate/coverage was based on car (67 Fastback, 390) and condition. Don't think I got any credit for HCS.

Are we making any progress?

When it was my daily driver, I used to pop the hood and fiddle around with the engine after parking, pocketing the coil wire in the process. Thieves rarely carry a spare coil wire.

Snap-ring pliers are handy to have in any toolbox. You can swap out the tips easily and just throw a little lever to switch from external to internal clips. It helps to have a couple different sizes on hand. You won't use them too terribly often, but "right tool for the right job" and all...
