During my strool at a recent swap meet today, I find myself a little surprise at some of the prices that are on these items.
For example:
'65/'66 rally pack $550
Big block holley 6-pack intake set-up several for $1100 to $1300
'69/'70 20 gal. gas tank $250 yet next vendor to him, selling repos gas tanks for $139
repo shaker hood scoop $395
repo "power by ford" al valve covers $120
aftermarket 4V dual plane intakes $45 to $60
'69 cobra hood scoop $120, ask how long he tried to sell at that price? Answer was six months, told him it should be in the $75 to $85 range. Came back to that vendor three hours later and he told me that he sold it for $75, and thanked me for educating him on that. As he put it, "one less thing to bring home"
It pays to take a piece of paper and to write down these prices every now and then.
BTW, did pick up a few bargins on old '69 mustang, mach 1, and boss 302/429 mag literature for 2 bucks eack. Last time on e-bay, these mag literature articles sold on e-bay as high as $25 each. Hint, go to the '69 Feb issue of playboy and see a perfect two page ad on the mach 1. Pick two up for $1 ea.
