What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

-----------------------------
That'd be about a cool as it gets. I don't think
there are any Chrysler 300 Electrojector units
known to have survived. There's a handful of
'58 300D cars that were originally equipped
with the factory EFI that have survived - sans
their original fuel injection units of course.
One 30OD that was recently discovered is
shown on the Allpar site in the readers
comments section.
(www.allpar.com/cars/desoto/electrojector.html )
Like all the other 35 cars built with the
Elelctrohector, this car was recalled and the
injection system removed and replaced with
carbs when it was still nearly new.

There's also one of 5 DeSoto Adventurers
originally built with EFI out there that has
been restored and re-united with it original
Bendix Electrojector.

Even more rare than the Mopar versions of
Electrojector, if that's possible, would be a
'57 AMC Electrojector unit . At least Chrysler
built and sold 35 cars to public with their
version of the system before recalling them.
AMC only made 3 (or possibly 4) pre-production
Rebel prototypes with the Electrojector system
but then never released them

Dual 2-barrel carb intake manifold for a Y-block Ford. My heart be still....PM me if you know where I can find one.

 

I have found over the past 20-30 years of walking parts meets that the easy way to find that rare part you need is just to go with half the money it takes to buy that part. Go with a pocket full of cash and you won't find a damn thing

 

Wow. One more thing Ma MoPar had before anyone else........

 

i second that, could have bought a nice pair for $150 but i lagged and missed out on them and now im kicking my self in the ass!! still looking for a drivers door by the way

 

My friend has a Bendex electrojet intake(fuel injection) that was on a 58 chrysler which was later recalled and is very rare.

 

DITTO
I'd almost forgotten about Gerbil assisted P/S.

 

'80-'82's had those.... I think? Better yet, I try not to think about it.. What a waste!

 

What's so special about those???

 

Is that all it takes to go nascar racin'??? I wish it were that easy now days... I'd show them clowns at Daytona how to win races..

 

Ha ha 2 true!

How about a sandcast finned aluminum starter block-off plate for a Ford A or B?

 

My best friend has the EFI intake in his shed for the 58 chrysler. Found it in a chrysler scrap yard in Michigan which was mainly used for prototype cars at the time but is now closed down. I know that it is not complete but would make a good start if someone was really wanting one.

 

Jones Engineering out of Puyallup, WA made a 9" quickchange. They deny ever making it. The company that provided the gears say that only about 15 were produced. Got one on the shelf and trying to find more info

 

A Hone overdrive rear end for a 8 inch ford
followed by the extra cash in my wallet to be able to buy one

 

Sad, but so true.

 

How bout the 63-64 Impala fiberglass removable hardtop? I had a 63 SS 409 w/ a factory vinyl top and thought that was rare. Then I saw these

 

Can you post pics? I would like to see this setup
Thanks

Jesse

 

---------------------
What's the deal on these Impala fiberglass
hardtops?? I've never seen or heard of these
before. Was it a factory GM piece or an
aftermarket item?? If aftermarket, do you
know who made them and when?? Inquiring
minds *need* to know!
