Smooth surface side has a scuff in the center; no other dents or dings.
This surface does have very light surface scratches.
The grooved surface side has 5 dents / dings as well as some light surface scratches.
The clip is missing.
Good for a driver or survivor car only.

Driver Side Original.
This has a bend/dent in it near the bottom that is about 2″ long
- it can be worked out.
Other than this, a very nice piece of molding.

Passenger Side Original.
Has a 1/4″ dent near the top.
Just above 1/2″ way down from the top there is a 1-3/4″ depression (see photo)
- it is maybe 1/64″ deep, but we wanted to point it out.
The side that has the screw holes has “pulled away” at the bottom.
This won’t matter once this is mounted; just pointing it out.
Screw holes are solid & not wallowed out.
Surface has some very light surface scratches but none deep enough to catch a finger nail; they will polish out.

Has 3 small dents on the outer edge (see photos).
One is 1/4″ and just above the center and the other is 5/8″ just below the center.
There also is a 1/8″ dent on the face just below the 5/8″ dent.
There is also a 3/8″ scratch at this dent also.
Overall, the molding has some very shallow surface scratches that may or may not be viewable in the photos.
Will clean up good for a driver car but would need more work to be a show quality piece.

The original part # for this piece was 3912721. This was changed in the parts manual to 3956237 in 5/1969. Given parts manuals lag production 6-8 months, this could make this for a very early 69 also.

In overall very good original condition.
There are no dents, dings, bends, etc. in this molding.
The surface has very light and shallow scratches
- none deep enough to catch the fingernail and, will polish out.
The retainer clip is solid and the rivets are too.
The rubber on the clip is partially missing.
The screw mount slots are slightly bent but each will flatten out again once mounted.
This is the original GM part # 3926242 retainer for 68-69E cars
It measures 18-1/2″ outside length and is “square” on each end.
GM changed this part in the 69 production year to part # 3966640 which is 19-1/16″ long
This is also tapered on the top end.
In the 1970 Corvette parts manual, there is a note that molding 3966640 can be used for early 1969, and all 1968 models, but it will be necessary to grind off 1/2″ of the top (tapered end) of part 3966640 and relocate the mount hole/slots. Allowing for a 1/16″ for the grinding operation, you would end up with an 18-1/2″ long molding, with square ends, that you still need to relocate the mount holes so that it will fit your 68 or early 69.
