Really needs a cable like the Mustang caps to prevent theft. :idea:

have to say, few would/could pay that much , but they aren't making any more and that example is exemplary ...


not actually "correct " for '61, Iconic Mercury Man is immediately identifiable...

My goodness quite a collection! There have been several of those fancy gas caps on eBay too. Couple hundred dollars is not as much money as it used to be but I can’t bring myself to do it.

I don't think I would pay $200, either.
But I would pay $150 for one and all of those other goodies if they are useable
Sell what you don't want or need. Just a thought, I already have one.

Is there a gas cap in there? Might be a plan if so.

Not sure why I’m digging in heels on the gas cap. With gas over $5 it is almost that much to fill the F150 and gone in a week.

If I weren't tied up w/ the center cap deal, I would have bought the whole lot and parted out @ reasonable prices. :x
Unfortunately, I'm on a budget w/ fixed income. Guess I need to find another job.
Goldbrickers, beware! :shock:
My rant for today........
