I'm looking for one of the old dealership chromed ones, but w/ Victoria Speedway Motors on it.  I've seen a few at swap meets, but they were ludicrously priced. :o

thanks AirCooledRules - as far as value, for me its based on more on the fact that my car is an original Clarksdale vehicle, just trying to add another touch of "vintage" to it - if its in great shape I would be willing to go $20.00, if its rough probably $10.00

Thanks!
Craig

I have a Speedway dealer badge I will be having reproduced in the New Year. Will do an outside one with pins, and a screw on dash mount badge.

Ok heres the info, go hunt it down.

going north down boundry from kingsway take a right on laurel (one before canada way) then take a right into the lane, once in the lane, take a left and go down about 1 3rd of a block and you are there.

there will be an audi fox and a orange super there. the audi has no plates and is filled with junk.
