yea, you would think. I have 2 and will need to replace my camaro soon. I got atleast 5-6 years out of the one in the camaro.

So, what are we going to do Fast Eddie?

This is terrible news. I love those batteries. The one in my '62 409 has been in there for over 10 years and still works great!

Do you need to have a "real" battery in place for judging? Reason I ask is that I have a display battery (lead posts, but no guts) that I was going to install a modern battery into.
Not going to do that, so just wondering if you can drive to the show with a Diehard or something, and then put the display battery in for judging.

----I would think it would only matter if theres an operational check. Most indoor shows want the battery disconnected anyway.......Bill S

Unfortunately no one makes a correct battery topper for a 69 Z either. Early car that is (reverse polarity)

Thumbs down Antique Auto battery

Tried to order a battery for my 70 Road Runner 440+6 from them. Phoned them numerous times and no seems to answer the phone.Left a message for their sales department to call me for an order and so far no one has called back.Finally filled out an online quote for a battery .They seem do be very indifferent for a business.Sales must be very good that they don't answer the phone or call back.Bob
