more ebay madness!!!
Check out this craziness. A pair of 66 - 69 motor mount "bolts" (with the F-headmark) is about to sell for $229.49 on ebay. Two bolts with washers and nuts. That is insane! Even I can't justify that purchase.
Here is the link, in case you need them:

Hmmmm. The $3.25 Home Depot bolts I cut and used on mine look better than that. Glad I don't smoke crack like those people.

Hmm, I wonder how much someone will pay me for the original 1975 bolts.
I could use a couple of hundred dollars for some more modifications.

Maybe I should sell my original parts on Ebay ??? What do you think ?
Tie rod end, ORIGINAL 1979, very slight wear for $20 ....
Set of ORIGINAL 1979 upper and lower ball joints, including 25 year old rust - $25 ..
Numerous pieces of a 1979 trailing arm bushing: priceless
It's insane what some people are willing to pay .... BTW - the items above are meant to be a joke, I do not have them for sale !!!

Damn...just damn...maybe P.T. Barnum was right. I should part out my 68 and just sell the bolts, bet I could get a king's ransom for the bolts..

To them it might be worth it.
Especially when they sell it as an NCRS Top Flite. Prolly double the value. Hell, I might spend 3 bones on a couple bolts.
