Definitely a rare part, but rare doesn't equal valuable. All this guy's prices are way too high on FMJ stuff. I've made offers on stuff he's had for sale for years. He won't budge. He'd rather keep paying eBay listing fees for years and hold on to stuff instead of having cash in hand.

Looks like someone bought them though. Ive ran into the same thing on ebay and also brought that up to the seller and thats how I found out how little the bigger sellers pay for there listings as its next to nothing. Ebay gets there big money from the final fees. I dont know whats changed with the Sparky S seller since there stuff has increased a good bit and the last three things ive bought have been jacked and there negative feedback grows. They actually blocked one of my accounts because I chewed them so hard.

I wish id seen these actually I would of pried the wallet open as for me it would of saved using other nos parts.

National Moparts has always been high, but it's sad to hear that Sparks is going to shit. I've bought an awful lot of stuff from that seller

Wow. You could still get those 10 or 12 years ago from the dealer and they were around $25 at the time.

I cant speak on the M/J cars but there are a lot of nice F-s in the overall community. Some of the nicest never hit the web and many of those never hit a show. Also there are certain things you can watch to help gauge how many people are serious about putting money into there F body cars.

My point is we can still do a full front end rebuild but its getting much more costly and some parts are ultra thin. We all know these here do wear out but I still see many many more T bars end bushings come up for sale. Im doing a couple currently and my last was like 15 years ago and even some of the more common parts of decent quality are scarce. Id rather have a few extra if I need them vs need them and have none. So some will send the money.

I almost think like with the early F-s were hitting the border line between classic vs antique... thats funny as I was just going by my personal feelings from the past couple years but the googler says... "According to this rule, a car must be at least 45 years old to be considered an antique. This means that cars manufactured before 1976 are now eligible for antique car status."
