rear bullseye emblem on 1973 Javelin
Hello,
The rear bullseye emblem on my 1973 Javelin is missing. I wanted to ask, whether it should be the same size as the ones on the sides, behind the doors? I somewhere saw it described as "big plastic bullseye" emblem, so I am assuming it should differ from side emblems, which are small and made of metal.
Where can I get one? Maybe any of forum member has one for sale?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, CloudyB. Do you have this auction in mind? I am not sure, if two pins on the back of the emblem would fit into the single hole for rear emblem mounting on my car.

The repo Ebay ones are ok but not even close to what the factory ones are. The factory ones have a chrome base with a plastic lense over it that is etched with the concentric bullseye. Its very hard to find an original with a good lense and nearly impossible to find one not faded.
If you do find one with a good lense you can restore it to near original. I reverse painted mine on the back of the clear lense in appropiate colors and you cant tell it from factory.
The rear bullseye on 73-74 are unique and not the same as the small side ones, grill or steering wheel as far as I know. The rear one has a single pin just smaller than the hole.
Your ebay link is the side one only

Thats it. My guess is that one is missing the pin. They were plastic and often broke.
