Okay, I'll play, too. I have a number of older "Competition Parts" price
lists, printed before they published the first glossy Comp Parts catalog.
Unfortunately they're in storage along with some early BRE price lists
that'll make you cry, too.
One thing I can check is a nicely mated and framed copy of the two page
March '73 Motor Trend feature on Brock's "Screaming Yellow" 510. There's a
sidebar that lists:
Competition "Spook", w/air Ducts $40
BRE forged Pistons (set of 4 w/rings) $123
Trans-Am clutch assembly (single disc
clutch plate, aluminum flywheel &
throwout bearing) $263
5-speed gearbox $450
4:11 limited slid diff. $220
Fiberglas front fenders $176
Fiberglas rear flares $33
Fiberglas hood $156
Fiberglas rear deck $130
Cylinder head porting $75
American Racing Libres (set - 13 x 7) $188
Front stabilizer bar kit $37
Rear stabilizer bar kit $55
I'll take a dozen of each, thank you very much!! ;>)
Don't we all wish?
