I'm going to add this to my watch list just to see if someone actually buys it....sheesh

Woo!The 49 Merc hood I have must worth at least 10gs!

 

Man, mine was worth about $4000 then. Makes the whole truck about a cool quarter mil.

 

i'm assuming the 6 people watching are just watching for the fun of it?

 

Really, now!

If it sells, I'm afraid you might see mine running around here "topless". Lol...slim

 

His wife probably told him to get rid of it.......so he says"OK I'll put it on ebay!"

 

LOL....sneaky Scott, sneaky (I've been guilty of similar tactics)

 

The rest of his stuff is priced reasonably. I wonder what the deal is with that hood? Maybe he lost his virginity on it or something. I asked the old man who sold me one of my hoods if he'd sell me a front seat from his old F-1 since he wasn't going to use it. If I'm lying I'm dying, his reply was "No, I lost my virginity on that seat, and it wasn't with my wife." Needless to say, my interest in that seat went WAY down.

 

Looks like that hood has been to hell and back. No wonder it is worth so much.

 

Nice visual. Thanks Doc.

 

As John Fin would say, "That's more than I paid for my whole truck!"

Greyhound can't handle anything that big, can they? I bet it would be junk by the time it arrived, if they did.

Doc, your friend must be pretty short....

 

Talking about visuals, you should have been there looking at that big tall old man when he was telling these stories. My dad just looked at me and shook his head. This guy had basically a small plantation. He was obviously rich as four foot up a bull's a$$. He collected antique bulldozers, among many other things. It was a very interesting day.

 

Ive seen his stuff before, every once in a while he has a ridiculus price on something. I cant explain it.

I shipped a hood via greyhound once. Its pretty bulky but must have arrive ok as i never heard otherwise.

 

He just didn't put the period in the price when he entered it in the listing. If you look at his prices, you could see that some end at .80 cents. Correct price is $216.80.

 

Since this thread is taking on a life of its own, I'll throw this out, strictly for giggles and laughs.
Years ago, I had a pretty nice early two seat Thunderbird for sale. I had this very attractive, apparently single, middle age woman come to look at it. The car had leather seats and she climbed into the back seat and sat for a long time. The look on her face was priceless. She never came out and said it but I got the feeling she may have lost something in that small back seat of an identical car. It may have been that car as she did buy it.
