Some people think everythings worth a mint. LOL ::)
Your post should say...
Solid gold gas cap!
That guy is probally trying to make a buck off the high priced gold that we are putting in our tanks?
From Pintony
well if it was solid gold then it would be about $5 to $10 higher for opening bid, or about the cost of a gallon of gas . LOLOL :P
Hehehe!!!!!
TOO Funny!!!
If you are looking for a cap like that one I have a used one I do not need.
From Pintony
the only thing i see missing in his description is a jar of Vaseline, he sure is trying to stick it some place OUCH!!!
Hay Pintony did i read someplace that would just about buy you another complete car? seems you said you get many very inexpensive.
Wow! A couple years ago I bought a used one for $5 with keys at a swapmeet. 15 minutes later I bought a NOS one for $7, still in the box. My 73 came with one but the keys were lost. I decided to keep using the locking caps since I found a replacement. I must agree with 77turbopinto said, they fit the cars quite well. However, when I paint my hatchback I will have a standard cap painted to match just so I can have a choice.
Thanks pintony, ;) I already have one. I bought a nos one for about 50 shipped a few months ago. I actually was still using my 22year old motorcraft one untill recently. The key was almost smooth but it still worked and the rubber still sealed! LOL !
This auction brings to mind a nos fender i saw on ebay about 3 months ago. The guy had a opening bid for $250 + shipping!
Plus he stated that buyer had to pay the driver for shipping costs! God knows what that wouldve been for a truck frieght. UPS wants on an average about 125 for across country for a fender. ( oversize cost)
I guess as parts get more scarce prices go higher, and higher etc.
sigh!! :'(
Hey 71hotrodpinto,
I sometimes put HIGH prices on parts just to see where the market is.
Imagine that you have a nice Pinto that has been involved in an accident.
Your insurance company wants to junk your Pinto because they feel that the parts are unatainable.
Or they want to throw a rusty junk yard part on your Pinto for the repair.
250.00 for a new fender Or 25.00 for a rusty fender with the body shop making 300.00 to put BONDO into it?
Just a thought...
From Pintony
I see the starting bidd has been reduced must be he relized the gold was missing new price is alot more reasonable.
yah ill say,it will probably end up in the mid 50's .The last 2 that were nos like this from other sellers went for about that amount.

Hey Tony, I wonder what My gas cap would go for ( see brads secret gas cap pic,s in another post) 8)
Well this is a bit of old news, but he apparently scared off all potential bidders. Too bad cause he lowered the first bid to $20. LOL
Oh well
