Victor,
Sorry wouldn't work. I think I will list a NEW fuseblock I have
for a '68 model on eBay. If one of our vendors ever tried to sell it
for over $100 they would be tarred and feathered... but heck I might
actually get $200 on it.
One request... please do NOT bid up items on eBay, unless you really
plan on buying them. ;-)
A while back I bought a Antique Glass dish, which I went to bid $70
on. Err, I accidently posted a bid for $7000!!! Bidding went to $130,
which a friend commented they didn't realize I was so serious about
bidding on it.
Oh, if you look at my past bidding... err, some of which is for a
friend who is a private collector. Yes, for a set of "berry bowls"
that is me bidding $1100 on it. (twalter311 on eBay is me).
Cheers,
Tom
P.S. One fellow back east called me up one night asking me for a
set of air injector plugs for his 1600. I explained that at the time
I was not sure of the correct nipple size, but since he had broken
his air injector manifold and needed a set I'd send them ASAP, and for
him to send me a check when they arrived. Uh, guess what... I ended
up making up a set of plugs for him. Finally got to bed at 2:00 am,
and expressed shipped them in the morning so he could make his weekend
gathering in the roadster. Uh, he never sent me the check. No, he is
not on the list... but I just think it would be funny to send a reminder
and let him know about 300 friends would be glad to call and remind him,
too! (I'll make up more of those plugs sometime next month... never
enough hours in the day to get to everything).
