What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

Someone needs to point me in the direction of anything manufactured by Pete's Engineering aka "Sneaky" Pete Robinson...blower drives, manifolds, tri-5 chev 3rd members...anything...I'm begging to find his stuff...

 

Here's mine, a 1931 Dodge Boat dash (yes, those are tits) and a 1928 "Snarlin Wolverines" Dash. I got the Dodge one, not as nice as the one pictured, but still...

 

Oh yeah, almost forgot, my NOS 1948 Tucker set...

 

I had a NOS set of ARDUN heads years ago, long before they got crazy money for them. I also had a V8-60 with ARDUN heads...............that was the Holy Grail. It had a tag on top with the number 1001, and I was told it was the first set assembled. Two yeas ago I was reading the Duntov biography and found out he put that engine in a midget, drove it and won with it. There are other Holy Grails out there to be found, when they are someone on the HAMB will have photos of it to share.

 

The *Center Bearing* in every Ford Torque Tube.......anybody got one? PLease let me know!

I recently found and was able to buy mine. 6X2 edelbrock intake for a big block Mope! It's also drilled for 3 bolt and 4 bolt carbs. kinda cool in my book.

Gotha anything, Halibrand No-Change (mag), Streamlite wheels

 

Typically it is any thing that I want to buy at a swap meet or junk yard. Just follow me around you will see a lot of the holy grail.

 

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU TALK DIRTY TO ME

 

last one of those i saw was 3 or 400 bux! better off replacing the whole torque tube . theres lots of those around with good bearings

 

can we at least exchange pictures first? i dont put out on the first date...

 

How about one of those stainless steel '36 Ford sedans?

What ever part I happen to be lookin for at the time!!!

 

[one of]my holy grail's would b a Horne intake for an early cad motor

 

No shit,I'll second that! Later Rob

 

Notice the angle of the carbs? Marine application? I edited my post,to include "affordable". Notice the NOS price, $1200. I doubt my 16 yr old nephew will be buying that one for his rod project. But thanks for the link.They are cool looking engines.

 

Been searching a long time for a Corvair water pump.

 

I have a pair of those on my coupe

 

OLDS sharp valve covers... i NEEEEEEED them

 

59 AB finned aluminum oil pan, Edmunds Cadillac exhaust manifold shields, real Thickstun head covers, Kinmont brakes, pre-49 Blackstone fuel pump, B400 virgin sheetmetal, Halibrand Culver City 18" solid magnesium wheels, 18" Ford "Milktruck" wheels.

This is the rare stuff that makes Hot Rod dreams.

For me it was my Moon tank with the external hand pressure pump and on/off switch and my Cragar gas pedal. Now that I finally found those I'm moving on to other parts but I'm not saying which.

 

Not just magnesium,but that is air cooled!
