    Ricky,

    When it comes to 68 parts, you dont have the option to question the price. You just buy it and be happy you could.

    69GS400s ...my own amusement ride!

    I agree with Mark, Ricky - thats a pretty rare piece and almost ALL the used ones you see look like crapOla. If yours is that bad I dont think $245 is that outragious ...

    ... but about 15 years ago when I was looking for a rightside mirror for BigRed in MINT condition because it was just coming out of resto, you know what he told me the price was after telling me "Yes, I have one ..." ?

    YOU cant afford it !!

    Swear to god, he didn't even give me a price / had no idea who I was or what I could afford :Do No:

    :rant: I just hung up and found a mint one in a south western junk yard about a week later for $35. Its still on the car and looks better than the repro one I bought (no slam on Franks' Repro ...it will go on the Wagon)

    Yes i understand mine was not that bad But i wanted to improve it
    im now kicking myself wishing i left it alone I have since sent it to a guy
    who says he can make me a new face for it but with no guarantee it will look nice so we will see if not i will be calling Frank for the $245
    After i obtain my very nice 68 Grille of course Or maybe George is holding out on me he probaly has one in his vault

    Ted,

    Starting to find the same thing with the 65-66 Wildcat. One year only parts, and not much on the repro side.
    Good thing I have friends in the know with these cars. :beer
