This happened to my Ford buddy, but he was prepared, and didn't cave. Sold the vehicle private party a year later for bid price, without paying the commission. We figured he paid the price of an appraisal in the entry fee, and had no transportation costs in the deal.

That's right Ed, when I had the first GTX as a daily driver in the 70s, I bought a set from the local dealer when the originals rotted out. When I bought Baby Blue, Bob Miller included a pair with a parts stash he'd accumulated. I paid $300 extra over the price of the car for the parts, which...

That's what the Demonstrator is currently wearing, and they aren't going anywhere. The car had two deviations from stock when the dealer owned it, the chrome rim magnums and the valve covers.

Semi gloss black.

These were factory stock on GTXs in 1967, but painted covers became standard in '68. I liked the look of the chrome better, and so did a previous owner of my current GTX. Not correct on my car, but I'm keeping them in place.

Yes, both were factory A/C, first one was unrestored one owner car I had in the 90s. Current one was a high end restoration of an unaltered 56,000 mile original, owned for 15 years by the Plymouth dealer in my town.

Black on both of mine. Both Lynch Road cars, one was an April build, the other was September '68.

You might be able to buy the lug nuts, but I'm probably optimistic. In 1986 I paid $375 for the set of four.

Got you beat. I had the original rear bumper on Baby Blue done in 1985 at Johnstown Bumper Mart in PA for $125, after paying $1800 for the car two years earlier. Chrome was still good nearly 40 years later, with the exception of a few thin spots from polishing. I still wasn't able to afford the...

If they were OEM Plymouth, I'd happily pay the extortion. But they are 1993 Dodge. I have a 1980s Plymouth set I offered at a fraction of that last year, and got no interest. The one tip I have, came in a 1972 dated box, along with a newer, mismatched one, which I sold. Ended up costing me...

An example of this that has been driving me nuts is the NORS Mopar Performance exhaust tips for 68-70 Plymouth B Bodies that were sold in the 80s. The contours are slightly different than the originals, which I have had on four of my cars. It's been seven years since I found my last complete...

I used those in two drum brake GTXs and they both worked well.

The breakfast griddle drippings is why burgers I'd order at old school diners when I was still driving a truck were so good. The places where I stopped used 80/20 ground angus chuck, and it was unbeatable. The finishing touch was a buttered roll crisped on the griddle. Shortly before I retired...

These worked for me.

I've used this one and it worked for me.

Similar for me, but I'd have go 1966 and earlier, thinking more along the lines of full size cars, rather than intermediates. Pontiac super duties, 2 plus 2, J-2 Oldsmobile, Buick Riviera Gran Sport.

Your can buy a wheelchair without a prescription, if you pay out of pocket. The ads I've seen are almost all fairly old videos for high end equipment, probably proven not cost effective marketing. When insurance gets involved, prices go through the roof. Read an article by a Harvard Medical...

In the early 60s, I heard the story of the creation of the AC Cobra from a guy who had actually raced with Shelby. He was a grad assistant working with my dad at Penn State. He and his wife came for brunch one weekend, and arrived in the 1957 AC Bristol from his racing days, now in street...

If you are trying to duplicate a '68 to early ''69 440 Plymouth (GTX), it's a red "super commando 440." Late '69 switched to the same with orange background. Red ones are cheaper.

I got bit last year with a high quality reproduction part with NOS box. I had a bunch of boxes from stuff I put on cars I no longer own, but I won't play that game. Another reason why I still like to do old school Carlisle swap meet rather than the internet.
