Parts Prices, WTF?!

OK then I wasn't gonna tell you my fender story, but here it is.

A good friend of mine sold me a nice 69 Charger back in 2004, only missing a fender!
So we went to the Spring Fling that year to find one and NO there wasn't one good one there that year?
I shipped the car home and went to the Fall fling that year too, still no fender...
Following year I went again to Van Nuys and guess what, still no good fender.

So I went and saw a recognised dealer there and he said he was getting some from the Fast and Furious FIVE CARS!
Whooppee I thought and waited patiently for them to turn up in LA.
Then he phones and said he had picked up 4 pairs of 69 fenders 'off the FF-5' Movie cars and was on his way!
Well when he turned up they was all pretty bad except for ONE!
A nice R/H 69 fender and I said ''I will have it''!!!

''Cool he said thats $1200 CASH''...


So I said ''I only want ONE'' and he said ''YEP thats right''!!!
So I said, ''you must be crazy'' and he said ''don't waste my time you limey punk ***''...:drama:

So to save my dignity ''I said I will give you the price of a NEW ONE''.
So he says ''OK'', wow I have just talked myself into a $650 S/Hand fender!!!:wtf::BangHead:

No I'm never gonna use it or sell it,,, I'm just gonna 'look at it' and think, YOU LIMEY PUNK ***', to myself and laugh...:rofl:
ps, by the time I bought it, shipped it, painted it, IT OWES ME $1000...:realcrazy::realcrazy::realcrazy:

pps, I was walking past his stall a few years later and he calls out to me, ''do you need anything for your Charger Limey PA''?
So I shouted back '' yes I do, a hipo exhaust manifold for a 69'' and he said I got one here''.
It has $200 written on it, so I said ''is that for a pair'' and he said ''NO ONE LPA'', BUT, to you its FREE!!!

What a GENTLEMAN!!!:thumbsup::thankyou:

Business is Business...
