Stopped at at garage sale while killing time waiting on a truckdriving friend to get into town today.

I couldn't beleive my eyes. There sat a perfect pair of Gold Chevelle headrests that looked like they were to a '69 era car. Lady wanted $1 each for them. When I checked they were marked 43 and 69 on the very bottom of the shaft. They look like they were removed back when the car was near new. Flat shaft was still shiny and had no wear showing.

Think I should put them on Ebay?

You just never know what you might find at a Garage sale or Flea Market.

couple of weeks ago I got a Sun 10 grand Super tach for $5 Model SST-801. Cracked face around the center knob though.

I once rescued a 60's vintage gold lettered USA-1 tag off of the top of a pile of garbage bags that were out on my local "junk day." Still had the original bracket attached to the back. Funny how having good gearhead periferal vision can really pay off some days.

The ultimate garage sale find: In 1982 I lived in Denver. My neighbors were moving out of their house and relocating. They tried to sell a bunch of stuff at the garage sale including a 1972 Chevy Vega. No one bought the Vega, so they gave it me. I traded the free Vega for this 71 Cuda 383 convertible that was in a junk yard in Denver.

Here is the car when I finished it. Still had it's original drivetrain in it.

If there is something to find at a swapmeet or garage sale Pantera will find it. Keep Looking!
