    Moparnut,

    Wish I had an answer for ya.  I contracted it too.  Just a small list of "Why did I buy that" stuff.

    Pair of G60-14 bias ply tires ( I only own 73 & up Mopars, nothing to put them on. )

    Every Vintage Auto Sound accessory known to man.  4 Track players, 8 Track players, 8Track with FM ( no AM ), Cassete players, Reverbs, Cassette to 8 Track adapters, CD to Cassette adapters,  TV adapter ( Audio only )  Wish I could find a record player. :crazy:

    Of course the "normal" stuff, 3 1/2 pairs 906 heads, a 360 & 727 combo,  T/A hood etc.

    I got it bad,

    P.G.

    What's wrong with that?  Sounds like a GREAT deal! I have 2 383's and a 440 sitting in my barn now. You can NEVER have enough Big Block stuff laying around. Wait till you catch the car dealing disease....Mopar #97 and counting for me.

    $150 was a great deal, if i had someone nearby that would be selling the same stuff for that kind of money i would buy it right away, and then get in the "Why did I buy that" gang :bigsmile:

    It was my kids playroom but I gave them 6 months to do a clean up in it and they didn't.So now it's mine but they haven't said a word about it.Plus I have been kicking around the Idea of mounting a tailpanel and lights to the wall,and they really like the Idea.---The Clown
