What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

That is the same as a Picost

 

'59 & '60 Cadillac right-side mirrors, power trunk pulldowns, Cruise control units, power vent windows... the usual '59/'60 Cadillac stuff everybody's almost always picked clean...

 

this side cover heathen
hehehe

now i just need the goddamned valve cover

 

Fel-Pro flathead heads.

Cal Marine Gas pedal (I have one, and no its not for sale ). ChopPop and I used a few of these in hot rods over the years. He had a stash of them from racing Cracker Boxes, E-Boats and S Class Flatbottoms in the 50's-60's. This is the last one that was passed on to me. I've never seen another, cept for the ones that we sold with rods that we built over the years. This one still has some rotted wood from an E-Boat on the bottom.

 

this 3x2 manifold built in 1950 by the Rossini Bro`s Speed Shop in Toronto Canada, should qualify.

 

it`s cast iron by the way.

 

1939-1940 Parkard trans i knw where one is and i want it so bad its the only one that ive ever seen and prolly will ever see..and also a inline overdrive from a 1946-1948 Chevrolet

 

the holy grail for me was finding a complete potvin front mount blower system for a SBC.going recreate the car it was on..

 

the one that I can afford when I want it. Other than that, a Pops Green flathead conversion for a Model T.

 

To me the Holy grail is finding a woman who likes all this old shit!!

 

Well, I thought it was the holy grail when I bought it.

I bought a N.O.S. (seriously) tailgate for my '60 F-100 and had it shipped from Nebraska. Perfect condition...then someone pointed out that re-pops are now available (for half of what I paid!)

BRT

 

I thought you had a late model one of those!?! Nice one, too.....

 

I am not old enough to know what the Holy Grail of all time is but because of this thread I am sure learning what is rare. You can bet your ass I will be keeping this pics in my memory for years to come. Thanks guys and keep em coming. I love this shit.

 

How about a '37 to '40 columbia 2 speed

 

redoing my T roadster with a 50 Cad. engine Snagged a Horne 4 carb manifold and a Ross steering box.

 

Original flipper hubcaps



A complete 38 zephyr dash (needs to be cut out of car, it does not unbolt)

 

Roto-flo shocks. This is not a picture of mine.

 

I,ll tell her that you think she is "late model".
I suppose being made in 77 is rather new.
See you next weekend.

 

Rotoflo shocks? There's a pair cluttering up my desk! Mind you, they need rebuilding so maybe working ones are like rocking horse shit?

 

i'd say a pair of ruxton head light buckets and if anyone has any ill take em

 

I probably gave it away

 

I found one & she is NOT FOR SALE!!

 

My limited collection is this 1959 Lincoln 430. I snagged it from UncleScooby a couple of years ago. 10.5 Jahns forged pistons, Isky Springs, pushrods, and rockers. Big solid Isky 505 and lifters. The old crower u-fab is gone replaced with a weiand 6x2. My favorite piece is the Vertex mag for the MEL.

 

I like the early Pontiac NASCAR dual quad engine ('55 or '56). Also, early Super Duty 421's. Pretty cool.

 

This with square ports to fit my #10 rocket heads is my holy grail.

 

I have 2 of those!One is complete with the Weiand gear drive.

 

rolls royce merlin engine

 

Algon small Ford timingcover. I've yet to even find a picture of one though I've seen them listed forsale in a dealer ad.

Eelco oil pan for the same let alone rear sump unit...

 

I'm so jealous it hurts.
