Until someone starts manufacturing a repo, they'll demand a premiun. Funny how certain parts just take off. If somebody was making a better reprodcution of these mats, they would't bring the coin they do. It takes a certain type of buyer for some of this. The mats sold to a collector, he's got...

Sold!!!!

New, price is the price. I don't like it any more than you, it's across the board. :) $1000

I was actaully referring to my response. I try to get the point without getting into the weeds with it all. :) LIke another member mentioned, drive it for a while, see how you like it. If it does't already have one, put a good aftermarket shifter on it, makes really fun to bang the gears on.

Ha, nobody wants to read a damn book out the gate. Gotta get a baseline here. :)
