ultimate part score
(Some of this stuff was a LONG time ago,)
3.91 Sure Grip chunk (741 case) about $90, delivered IIRC.
Running, 1970 340, complete from carb to exhaust manifolds-$200
Complete SBP brakes, bought from a member here (Thanks again, Richard A!) for $75 plus shipping
In high school my brother & I found a fiberglass hood with a teardrop scoop for an early Mustang laying in a lot with a bunch of junked cars. Took it to the local speed shop, sold it for $25 & split the money.
A friend got a decent, non running '68 or '69 Formula S Notchback with a 4 speed for $50. He also got a nice '65 Barracuda that had been abandoned for free.
Hood, front bumper & both front fenders for a '65 Barracuda-$25 (These came from the above '65) The guy later sold me a driver's door for $25. He felt like he'd given me too good of a deal on the other parts. I agree.
Complete rebuilt 833 with aluminum case & tailshaft housing-$350 on Ebay (haven't run it yet but it looks good, time will tell).
Harley Davidson parts--2 rear calipers, rear sprocket, rear brake disc, & some other small parts, all brand new, $27 at a yard sale.
Complete NOS air conditioner for a VW Beetle, including R12, for $125
