    get the helmet from any good yard sale or flee market (bell or buco?) and get the mask new from good vibrations motor sports

    don't waste your time looking for old masks, if you find them they are either in bad shape and un-usable or they are mint condition and they owner wants a mint for it!

    If you are interested in old style Drag racing masks I know of a company that makes replicas of the early 60's style mask they are not certified but can be used to make excellent displays. Just contact me and let me know I can get you some pics of the masks. I think they are priced at $150 a far cry from what the originals are.
