    try DVAP http://www.dvap.com/ they're a very good source for that kind of stuff..... also if you cant find it at a wrecking yard.... try dearborn classics they specialize in galaxies http://www.dearbornclassics.com/ ..... also i believe i have some of the 65 XL spinner hubcaps that look brand new still.... if you want them i can probably let them go for about $400
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    I wouldn't go to DVAP, they just screwed me out of $80, because of my cracked head. I paid $150 for it, with shipping it was $178, the first 1, was obviously cracked, if they actully looked at what they pulled, they would have found it cracked, they sent me another, and it wasn't as visible, cracked in the siamese exhaust chambers, not bad, but too much for me, and I didn't find it until a little over a month after I got it so, they're agreeing to refund the cost of the cyl head, but not shipping it back. I'v got Memory lane searching for a head now, there gonna send them out 1 x 1 to get magnafluxed, so I'll get a crack free head ( magnaflux is my cost tho ).
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone
