Great Finds 2018

[The Goose]

Alright guys. 2018 is over let’s see what cool stuff you found out there.

Signed metal sign by Wild Bill !!!

Original 60’s Sox & Martin plate holder.

NOS 1970 steering wheel center cap

4 or 5 cool RTS & Scat Pack jackets.

 

[1978 NYB]

Very cool!

 

[BLIMP]

That's some really neat stuff! From the backside, your horn center looks suprisingly like the spring from an 60's IH garden tractor PTO!
What size jackets were you able to buy? It seems the vintage jackets I find always end up being way too small for me.

 

[cbarge]

Not to brag but bringing home the hardware from TWO shows!!
Mopar Madness and Carlisle!

 

[cbarge]

Seriously,the biggest Mopar score is 72 340 Demon numbers matching. I passed on it because of my divorce and sale of the house. but helped getting it back on the road and I know who has the car.

I got really lucky this year. I got 1 XXL RTS, 2 XL RTS , 3 XL Scat Packs one NOS 60’s one NOS 80’s or 90’s. Also got a lined XL Cobra that I’m swapping patches on. Check out this wind tunnel jacket from the proving grounds too. And here’s pics of the replacement patches.

I did ok on the used side too.

My 1970 monkey wards seat covers

‘69 dash , tail lights & odds and ends.

NOS shoes for my power drum brakes

Pre Japan 60’s mooneyes windbreaker XXL

Auto Show VIP badge.

I bought some eXpensive goggles from this guy for my kid to ride in the conv with her contacts for $5. Check out the tiny Alfa crank. Almost bought as a paperweight but he wanted real money for it LOL. Looks the size of an AC compressor crank.

 

[1978 NYB]

Not really a find for 2018 but I was able to finish the bodywork and get new paint and vinyl and a 450 hp B-engine from CME with a ton of new parts and cool mods for my 78 NYB.

That’s awfully cool. I really want to put those sport mirrors on my ‘69.

Purchased a '63 King Midget that I always wanted and had my '79 Dodge Magnum GT painted and purchased a 2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra.

My next score of 2017 is my daily grinder 2008 300c HEMI!
$2500.00 and just rolled 100,00 KM's!

Found my Monaco and my Fury this year. So glad to be back with c-bodies and mucking about with cars in general.

15x8 Spyders with NOS center caps....

A friend gave me his Chrysler retirement watch

I got a free welder from my mother in laws shop, they replaced it because the whip was screwed up....New whip and it runs beads like it's nobody's business.

Got a 12k winch from my boss super cheap...it works excellent...

Found nearly everything I needed for my 85 from another 85 package car..

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Had a good year finding cabinets for my shop...which I collect...

Found some very hard to find emergency equipment and a few that were excellent deals...

Sold my 426 Hemi

Bought a ton of stuff over the year and then sold a ton at Moparfest

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Rebuilt my car hauler and vastly improved on it.

Bought a parts car for a car I didn't have yet...

Found a good place to store my chev truck and my new to me 70..

And turned down an offer to go to work doing restoration for a living....It was a weird year for careers in general for me..

I still wonder if I made the right choice.

My 2018 score! Have yet to touch or have Eyes on! But soon...

Well I closed out the year in Imperial style. A few weeks ago I bought out 2/3ds of a Parts collection that included many NOS and used original Imperial parts and also a large box filled with some very rare literature. Then on the last day of ‘18 I made a deal on the rest of the parts and 2 cars which will be coming to me to kick off ‘19. Here’s a glimpse of some of what was in the box.

FMA stands for Finnish Mopar Association.
