A distributor cap of note

Could be made from rare earth materials...... Or a misprint.... Or an idiot..... My guess would be ....
 
Free shipping, not sure if it is the original box, and he'd love to see it in your car at a show.
 
Gold diggers like this don't help the hobby. Take it to his grave. Moron.
 
Awww Dennis. Why sugar coat it? Tell us what you really think...lol
 
Hopefully it falls off the shelf and shatters into a thousand pieces. Sellers like that just piss me off. Bad thing is, there is an idiot that will happily give up a grand for a cap.

Hell, I have some "rare" fasteners that may have seen or been around a HEMI car or a 440 car of some sort...hell, they might have actually been ON a Hemi or 440 car at some point. Let's see, $500 per bolt, $250 per nut, and $50 for the "special" washers. They even have that highly-valued and touted "patina" on them. Sounds reasonable to me.

I'm watching this one closely - if if gets any closer to my price range I may jump on it..... Thinking ......$

one problem I have is he isn't sure if it's the original box. If it was..........
 
Plus, the very same cap and rotor are used, regardless of the V8 displacement. A "HEMI" cap is a 318 cap. It's a $20.00 cap.
 
He bought it in 2000? You mean its not actually from the 60's? Probably made in the 80's or 90's? It aint rare, buddy boy.
 
I've got some fender bolts from a '71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible I'd be willing to trade...
 
Gentlemen,
I believe, in the original pix, that the items are for a Prestolite dual point distributor. But its hard to tell, unless there is an inside view of the cap, as it would have a spring loaded carbon brush that contacts the rotor. It may fit the HP 273 or 340 or the B/RB application but NOT Mopar single point units...... The price seems to be extrodinairly high......hopefully a miss print. The last time I purchased these items I paid approximately $20 for both. Its extremely difficult to tell OEM from aftermarket even on a "numbers matching" car.
Cheers,
RJ Renton
