I'm on my way home at the moment from northern california and stoped at the mcdonalds saw a bug on a tow truck looked into it and saw this empi steering wheel. It's not perfect but it's not bad either I asked the guy what's up with the bug and he said they are going to crush it. So I asked if he would sell me the steering wheel on it and he said just take it cuz it's all messed up anyway  Cool So enough said it's mine now  Smiley

Well it wasn't a swap meet but I found this sandblaster on craigslist for $50.00! It will do about 99% of the parts I need to clean for my 56 project. You just hook it to your compressor. It is also full of media so i don't even have to buy any!

I went to the VW show in Springfield MO this morning and scored a few things, old dist, oval wiper arms, oval wiper wire connector thing, snowflake taillight housing and a bunch of old VW magazines. I got some old 70's Hot Vw's a Hot VW's quarterly from summer of 72, Volkswagen Greats from the 70's ect. I need some more money for my 56 project so it looks like I will have to flip them.

Just found these in the swap meet yesterday....

Bent Hurst Shifter....

I see now that I am missing the bottom plate from the bent shifter.... I guess I should have kept that EMPI unit for parts. Oh well.

Straight Hurst Shifter....


With fairly decent rubber boot...


and beat up knob....



I first found the bent shifter at a stall and asked what he wanted for it.
He said to make an offer.
I offered him a lowball at $40.
He said for fifty I could have the Hurst and the EMPI knockoff next to it as that one had a hard plastic cover on it.
I went to $45 for the pair.

Then I went over to where my friend had a spot and spied the straight shifter in the spot next to his.
I had already picked up a new license plate frame for my square there earlier.
I asked him when he put it out and he said it was always there.
How much do you want?
Again, make offer.
For this one I offered $20 as a wicked lowball.
He wanted $30.
I countered with how about I give you $25 and this-a-here EMPI shifter that I just paid $10 for that you can sell?
Now I have two Hurst shifters for a grand total of $70.


Oh and my license plate frame....
My car has a wicked 70's vibe so this frame once removed from the California Black plate and cleaned up will be absolutley bitchin' hanging on the rear hatch...

 
I had a good day.  Grin

Scored a Berg 6750 shifter for $30 last weekend. I wish I could do that EVERYDAY! Or better yet, find the Berg shifter that was for a bug and not a bus so I could put it in MY car.

That is such a nice gesture! You care so much about your fellow lounger that you'd be willing to let him double his money just so you can say you helped him out. Haha. Although I should get some credit for being nice enough to help the last guy out by buying this shifter from him. Think of all the time he would have wasted trying to get $30 for the shifter at a swap meet! Like anyone is dumb enough to fall for that one! Grin Except for the guy I sold it to 3 days later.
