    He is correct though - you rarely see them for sale at that price!

    TA took the Buick name off of them, so he is correct with that... but there are hundreds if not thousands of sets of TA covers out there with the "Buick" on them. Not exactly rare, and if taken care of , they don't "wear out" The name thing was a potential copyright/brand name infringement issue.

    Here are the current ones

    A new set of these might be worth a couple hundred bucks, but not anywhere near what he is asking. He's searching for one of those guys PT Barnum was fond of pointing out.. "One born every minute"...

    TA just can't put the name on their advertising is/was my understanding, when you order them they come to you same way they always have with the "Buick" Script last two sets I got had "Buick" a set of 455 and V6. As of a little over a year ago, Me and Mike was talking at the Nats and he said the ambulance chasers were on him all the time about that nonsense., I gotta order a set tomorrow for my brother's car so we'll know then ha
