What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

Edmunds heads and a roof 2x2 intake for a 59 AB flathead.

 

sorry for any 8 yr olds reading this but, Fuck yes, the above quote is right on gentlemen. They aint making any time or land last time I checked.

 

I got lucky finding these. Only ones I've seen.

 

http://stcloud.craigslist.org/pts/1003142645.html Not exactly the same, but your picture stuck in my head when I saw these today.

 

I guess 32 roadster doors...2 years and cant find any.

 

Hilborn stack injection for 273-360 mopar....maybe not the rarest...I have one and have seen another in a mag years ago....and crower imperial roller bearing camshafts...that are still decent...I have one for the sb chevy...

 

I have to throw in the vote for the Ardun heads but how about a set of Mickey Thompson Pontiac hemi heads or a nascar magnesium intake for the 426 hemi

 

It could be here somewhere... Just a very small portion of the speed parts collection @ The Flying A Garage and future site of America's Car Collection in Winnemucca, Nevada -including this ultra rare Edelbrock flathead Ford intake manifold. It is documented as one of the first 100 that Vic Edelbrock Sr. manufactured before WWII (read the story board in the photo). Thanks to Ralph Whitworth for collecting and displaying these jewels for public viewing.

Note; the pic makes the manf look somewhat shabby and corroded. It is absolutely cherry, I'm not sure what happened ? I took the shot with an HD camera.

 

any speed part for a 214 flat-head 6 International motor. I have been looking for this stuff for 12 years and haven't found a one. I'm finally going to break down and make my own split manifold and intake out of scratch.

 

Acouple of years ago I bought a 32 three window body for $4000 no fire wall no floors no subrails. It does have the original glass and all related mechanisms also
the door latches and the related hard ware. The window garnishes are also still in place. The roof was filled forty years ago with a metal insert and finished in lead. So
far I have been able to purchase a genie set of sub rails and a realy nice trunk lid
to replace the rusty one. I was able to spread the costs over a couple of years so I
think this might qualify as a working class persons build? MickeyC

 

at 85 hp, anything will help, lol. I hope you find something, cuz I'd be interested as well.

 

silversink and havi,
I knew a machinist 25 years ago that built up a full house IHC OHV I-6 engine for super modified sprint car racing. The engine was turned 90 degrees on it's side and ran a dry sump oil system. That car hauled ass better than a V-8 because it had such a low center of gravity. It flew around the turns. I don't know what source they used for performance gear though. You might try the IHC truck boards like www.oldihc.org or www.binderbulletin.org and ask around. I'm sure someone there is an expert. Hope this helps you find what you need.

 

Most of the stuff related to henrys finest ,is available new.yes,you heard it here folks.scott blowers_new Vicks slingshot maniflds New-even ....soon ,new aluminium blocks by shadow rods and flathead jack.and Arduns have been available new and improved for years so stop dreaming and just pay up !

 

How about some bronze two piece 8ba cyl heads,and,yes they do exist.

 

Yeah, but I'm sure these are rarer...

 

heck i got the 3x2 and a 2x4 for the poly motors. don't know why, haven't had a poly for 20 years.

 

'32 Ford ashtrays.

 

Nah cut the tire cover for the spare in half n glue it on piece of cake

 

Chevy bolt patter 15'' Steel wheels ....damn it

 

well, not something everyone would want or buy but for me i cant find '64 olds starfire quarters at all lol

 

I saw this on the history channel, about plastic deck lids on 41 ford 2 dr. Ford made them and were demonstrating the ability to withstand an impact. the men in the pic were hitting the deck with a sledge hammer and bouncing off. that would be rare.

 

An ashtray in a new car.

 

I cant find one of these to save my life:

 

Elco Twin Plug heads for a Flathead, as already mentioned. I just saw a set the other day, installed on an engine, with a 16 plug single distributor as well. I can't find any info on the heads to save my life. I can't possibly afford them, but am obsessed with finding out more. Anyone know anything?

 

Really? All three of the '80s Caprices I've owned had 15x4.75 bolt pattern wheels. I've probably still got some in my garage somewhere.

 

i have one

 

Well, there's their phone number...can't you just call them?
Really, have you ever seen a phone # like that????

 

Tuck says it's his new HURST shifter!

 

They used to be everywhere around here, now you cant find a set of those to save your life, they have all been scrapped. I ended up just settling for a set of chevelle rally wheels, they were easier to find.

 

<------Those... Real SP tops are hard to find...
and so is a Vintage Joe Hunt Mag...
but yeah my shifter "takes the cake" shelley... haha.
