Food for thought.
Actually if we quit buying the items, fewer items will be made and the ones that are available to the ones that want them will be higher price.

Try buying a taillight assembly for a 1966/67 Dodge Charger or the crome that surrounds the headlights. Talking over $400.00. This is due to the fact that there is such a small market for them and not many folks buying them... Lots of people need them but since there is so few of the cars ever even built let alone still around, prices are thru the roof. Now take a 1965/66 Ford Mustang or a 1967/68 Chevy Camaro you can get parts at cheaper price as there are so many of the cars still around and alot of folks can make repro parts for them and recoop the cost of tooling and molds etc..

Anyone got a new taillight for a 1966 Dodge Charger that the are willing to give up for say $100.00 for my Charger???

Sure does. Of course, it does involve reading the owner's manual or asking the salesman. Not surprising that some folks just can't handle a HEMI.
