Expensive hubcap

So, I get up this morning and find that some dirty rotten sob has stolen my hubcap, not all four, just one! I go to the local jy that is open on Sunday thinking I can find one fairly cheap, I find one in the whole yard, take it to the man to pay for it and he tells me $50.00. I asked him why so much, he tells me " because I have it and you want it'' I said, " not for that price", he throws it on the ground and stomps it almost flat and tells me to get the he-- out of his yard! What a day!

Wow, that's crazy. I had someone break my wind window once, and stole my sunglasses, lighter and ashtray and left the $400 worth of tools in the back seat and the car was unlocked. Guess the guy at the junkyard was having a bad day too.

What hubcap are you looking for?

Yes, they are the ones I was looking for. I went to PaP this AM and found four hubcaps and a spare wheel. I paid $25.00 for everything, but, that jerk at the other jy will never see another cent of my money!

Sooooo theoretically, the guy just screwed himself out of $50 (if anybody were that dumb).

yes those in the pic are the type my '81 has/had. Not SS though. I found some Ford chome caps so I sandblasted my OEMs and have them 'saved' in plastic.
