Agreed dude but apart from that I would have to say My Empi Tacho - It was one of the first "vintage parts" I collected years ago and its been mounted on the hood/bonnet of my Manx ever since and through the wind, rain and mud its WORKED, Never missed a beat and I would say it as accurate as any modern Tach |

Sold all my prized, rare parts years ago... regretted it ever since... now I'm starting over.

My most prized is the Berg 5 transmission. I waited so long to get one, but it was well worth the wait. I have had it for many years now and love it. I have over 50K miles on at this point.

Even with all the choice parts yours has Speedwell, is there one part that stands out? maybe even just for sentimental reasons? The one I regret selling the most was a set of DDS pie pans, 13 x 5 fronts and 15x6 rears.  As DR says if its not going to make or break you keep it! |

my Weber 48's as I got them (1991) from a late friend who was really a mentor when I was younger. Plus he gave me an unheard of deal on a very sweet pair.

I guess the most prized possession on my car is the car itself. My uncle bought it in 1969 or so and I've had it since 1990. It's been in the same basic configuration for several years now, but since I've owned it, the car has been painted twice, had 5 sets of wheels, 3 floorpans, 12 transmissions, 4 interiors, 5 front beams, more engine combinations than I can remember, as well as a ton of other parts installed and removed. The body is about all thats left of the original car, but it's the last part I would ever sell.

Like minded with Mark, the pink slip is probably most prized. but also my N.O.S when I got it formuling wheel found by my then girlfriend now wife on e-bay for 60 bucks. Also my Italian IDA's.

hey jamie everythings for sale but your sentence with let me have it isnt the way to ask How about give me or I'll set Big Pete on you?  Mine would be my 2276. I can honestly say that I've never witness acceleration like it, and I've been lucky enough to drive some serious modern machinery, from Mit Evo's, to Bentley Conti GT's to power upgrade 911 Turbos. The thing flies |
