Default 66 Jack

Is there a vendor out there selling a reproduction 66 jack that will pass a NCRS judging meet? If so, who do you recommend? Thank you

There is no exact match to original, but the Type III jacks sold by the normal vendors are very similar to the originals, and "will pass an NCRS judging meet", with minor originality deduction.

To have no originality deduction on a jack, you will have to find and pay up for a gennie original.

... If and when you do find an original, dig deep into your pockets.

The thickness of the side rails, the rivets, the weight, the washers ,etc all are NTP and will receive a deduct. Also, it goes without saying, but I will reiterate to NEVER use a repro jack for jacking purposes. Ever. ARA

how much do originals go for?
I have the original jack in my car, someone looking at my car today offered me $300 for it. I'm not interested in selling it, but how much do these things run?

I saw them at, as high as $600.00. You could find them cheaper if you really look and are not a must have kind of guy at any cost. I think $400.00 is fair.
