PS: Do you sell any of these parts?

I pretty much sell EVERYTHING I find unless it’s going in one of my cars ….. the 67 I’m keeping really love that one I’ve already fitted an insane amount of empi parts on it already   Wink

Been working on trying to get this original empi hood for the last 4-5 years and my patience paid off again when the owner contacted me yesterday and asked if I was still interested in the hood.  Gave me a smoking deal on it.

Seems EVERYONE didn’t know what was in the box in this guys swapace and I’ve  been watching them pass it by without picking it up and pulling whatever it was inside it out to see so I walk over out of curiosity and it turns out to be an NOS empi dash pad and the box had a sticky note on it for $5 soooooo I had to pay full price since I didn’t want to low ball the poor guy LOL

And seem to remember a buggy driving around with one.

Just got back from a local yard sale saw this on the table for $5 NOS empi parcel tray but missing a bracket … guy said it came with a bug he bought in the mid 80’s didn’t know what it was for so he put it in a box and forgot about it.  He had a few more goodies but nothing we haven’t seen before.  Gotta love these so cal yard sales

Saw a craigslist ad last night for 4 vintage vw carburetors $350……I  drove 2 1/2 hours one way to pick them up.  Turned out to be a pair of early Italian 48 IDA WEBERS and a pair of 44 IDF webers both sets are in great condition just alittle dirty/dusty that’s all.  Gonna sell the 44’s but keeping the IDA’s this time.

Saw this on Craigslist and scooped it up … I’ve never seen an empi eliminator shifter on Craigslist ever.  Said “ make offer” so I did and it’s going in my 67 I’m building

Found this one Facebook Marketplace. The manifold fits a 351 Windsor Ford. And the IDA`s are Spanish. Everything is new. My plan is to keep one pair of carbs, and sell the rest off.

Scored this on samba yesterday it’s a red/gold button it’s one I’ve never seen before but fits my empi wood Gt wheel perfectly the guy said it is a real button and has had it for a long time he actually owns an original 68 GTV amd has quite a few nos original empi items in his small collection. I’ve compared it to my original ones and they are exact but the red one has the empi logo NOT empi Gt it’s Perfect so I believe it to be another rare one but who know’s LoL

Found this vintage custom made gas tank in a 51 crotch cooler split beetle I found about 6 years ago on the desert. It was all dragged out with centerlines and slicks roll cage and alot of other cool parts. Still have the split already restored and tucked away but decided just now to  use this cool tank in my 67 if no one wants it more than I do LoL

While not as super cool as other stuff shown here, I did find a set of Dellorto filter tops at the swap meet on Friday.
I had to buy the guys whole box of random stuff to get them though, so they cost me $20...
