What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

May not be rare to some...but it took me a while to find it.

 

Mickey Thompson Tri-Bar spinner caps for Raders are fun to find too. I looked for about a year and then finally found two complete sets this week. I also got a set of old NHRA tri-bar spinners that look conspicuously like the M/T's. Seems like it's just certain parts that disappear from the Earth.

 

My list is short and simple. Shop time and a used 3x2 intake for rochesters carbs for a SBC. The later should be an EZ find. Everthing I find is $600 and has carbs on it.

 

no i will not haha

 

I'll throw a couple in:

- Zephyr tail lights...

- Decent Desoto Grill...

- These days... anything cheap!!! I am glad I got into the 'jalopy' world a few years ago and started collecting then. My latest gander at the auction sites shocked me at how much prices have changed in just a couple of years for the same things, 2-300% increase by my count!!!

 

...along with OEM Plymouth 318 Poly dual-quad canister air cleaners too, I guess.

how about 32 3 window ash tray (it is a repop) and cigar lighter. The glove box knob is too but I don't have a picture of mine.

 

ol hoods and decklids were turned into stone boats ...
used for clearing rocks from farm fields...
thats what tractor pulling sleds morphed from...


i guess i'm doing okay on this list
i have the...
6-2 sbc intake
3-2 cad intake -like shown
pair electroline headlites
2-4 331 hemi intake


hope to use it all before i croak

 

Yankee turn signal indicator, maybe?



Kelsey hayes spokes are on their way.....

 

KH spokes- Finally something on this list I have.

 

Well, I've got the valve cover and need the goddamned side cover, so it's a mexican standoff. By the way, go to the hardware and get some chrome headed bolts for that side cover!

 

Good luck on that one There were 13 cars produced, all were recalled by Chrysler to be refitted with 2 fours.... 12 came in for the swap. You do the math

There was one of the 13 sitting at a body shop in Ellington Ct in the 70s. A black 2 dr htp with a smashed rear quarter. It says FUEL INJECTION on the tri-colored side emblem on the quarters. This one had carbs. It was owned by a collector from NY but was abandoned at that shop for years. It dissappeared in the late 70/early80s...right after Road& Track or Motor Trend did a story on those

 

Would a matching set of 3 Edelbrock (the ones that faces upward and not canted upward and outward) aluminum spark arrestors count as rare?

 

Myke...Filto-O-Reg...filter and regulater.

Hey Clark, I have one of those but with a green glass filter.-MIKE

 

any DOHC stuff for sbc built by Smokey Yunick.

 

Nice Peice!....NOS with the box too.

Got to throw that on my want list now.

 

How about his: Latham S# 001131 (Florida production) on top of a REAL 1958 Plymouth 350 Golden Commando, equipped with Hilborn mechanical fuel injection?

 

For me it'd be a nice, complete magnesium Delta blower cover with swingarm. A Lenco 9" Ford quick change case would be cool too.

 

Now I have wood.

Sorry if this is a re post but speaking of Ardun heads;

Ardun Heads at the auction site


Anybody else watching these??

Yeah, the price has been stuck at 15 K since day 2 of the auction but now that it's in the final stretch..... I'm thinking that they may sell for around 20 or 25K ..

we'll see






.

 

hahah, that was our guess-ti-mate too. I would be surprised to see originals go for less.
Time to refinance the house....

 

I was told some guy actually spent $1500 hundy on a repro cap.. ??

 

that would be my luck!!

 

Lyons hubcaps for 35 ford wires. These are on vic edelbrock's roadster. I just sold these.

Yup, once you find that, everything else is just parts.
