I have one of the last GM copper radiators made for the 68-74. My question is that it came with two metal bands around the cooling core, can I remove them? Where they just for prodution, shipping?

I bought one about 2 minutes before the dealer closed for the day. Mine beats yours.

Remove the shipping straps.

Full moon? Hide tide or low? Spring or fall? Week day or a Saturday? Cash or credit.

Do the numbers match?

Remember: any such transaction occuring during a total solar eclipse is not factory. The assembly line did not run during solar eclipses.



P.S. Nice score on the radiator.

Thats funny. As soon as check the astrology calendar and I pick myself up off the floor I'll write something witty.
