There are reproduction wing windows assemblies available.
Have not heard from anybody using them, so I am not sure of fit or quality.
Watch Ebay, as there are some available regularly. I just sold a few sets to a guy here in Minnesota who is now reselling them on Ebay. Be careful if they are from Minnesota. I know he is describing them to be a little nicer than they actually are. If they wold have really been as perfect as he is describing they would still be in my basement as extra parts for my car.

I have a set of 1965 GTO vent frames in my 67 SS. Same part numbers. Makes me think that 64-67 GM A bodies interchange.

Yes they interchange between all the GM A-body cars.
I am not sure about the 64-65 wing windows working in a 66-67 though.
Are you sure about that? I had always assumed 64, 65 were different than 66, 67.

Must have interchanged with some ultra rare Corvette :sad:

Fel your pain, brotha. Some people are out of control with this hobby.

I was visiting a buddy in Denver and complained that my 67 Chevelle needed a new rocker panel and better vent window frames. He said he found a clean 65 GTO in a junk yard and cut out the rocker and stripped the rest of it for his GTO stash. I gave me the vent window assemblies and the rocker................both fit perfectly.

Just had the vent window frames re-chromed on our 67 chevelle and it cost right at
$ 200.00 for both.
