    One of the original cruise control setups for my '61 Chrysler.

    And the crossrams.


    I did find a record player. Sold my car trailer to afford it.

    For me? A Kenz and Leslie emblem that they attached to firewalls of cars that they installed engines in. A '58 Edsel radio delete plate, more Edsel dealership display items.

    I have one but I don't think it qualifies. Aftermarket reproduction that runs on a battery stuffed in the back.
     
  11. A Paxton-Mculloch supercharger gauge, that I don’t need to give up a kidney for!
     

  12. Wait!! What??? You say there's a car in that picture?? Naw... Show me!! You guys are all kidders, that's what you are.
     
  13. I'm still looking for a couple of outside rear view mirrors like these. It's probably going on 15 or so years now 20210728_135319.jpg 20210728_135345.jpg
     
  14. For years I have looked for an EELCO silver faced, with red and blue trim water temperature gauge. Now at 81 years old. I am selling my collection of N.O.S. EELCO gauges. I missed 2 silver faced water temperature gauges in the last 40 years ,and my chances of finding one now are pretty slim. I would take one of the gauges even if the capillary tube is cut off.

    I feel honored to have one of these on my cabriolet.
    That dog must have stamina... he ran all the was to the LARS in 2016 and then back home to Smithfield, VA... for some ice cream!:D

    BTW, I saw another one on a 36 Ford convertible sedan and offered $1,000.00 on the spot... they said another $57,500 and it was mine! The car was for sale for $58,500!!;):D
     
  16. Bermuda bells are on my list now! Those things would be great at crowded cruise nights. A "ding ding" would be less rude to an oblivious show-goer.

  18. I didnt see the car either, I think they are just fibbin

    Well right now the top 2 parts I would like but cant afford, is a passenger car 409 block. I have a set of 409/425hp heads that would love to use and build.

    The other is a 4-71 blower setup for my 33 pickup's SBC
