rare gems

Postby holmsy » February 2nd, 2008, 3:11 pm

well i just got a call from my dad. he has been cleaning out my nanas house to sell it.
listing some of the gems he has found.
BRAND NEW never used taillight off an xt falcon (old school)
brand new looking mustang badge (old school) beleived posibly to never have been released on a production car. not positive tho.
good condition very old jaguar that goes on the bonnet of a jag. thinking mnaby as old at 1930's but thats dads rough rough guess.
some 750 badges off his ducati. his bro says possibly worth hundreds $$$
another badge that says XLE im thinking off a cortina.

and a few other asorted things i cant remember.

we still have a fairlane 500 badge sitting around here we found one day.
i will get pics up when he comes home on sunday/monday. plan is to sell most or all of them i think.

anyone else stumbled across some cool little gems?

ah k. cool.
he things the mustang badge could have been one planned for a car but never put on a factory car. as his bro or dad was in the sort of places ya could pick up stuff like that.
if so that could be very interesting.

he said something about wheel trims as well. ones ya clip onto ya wheel then the center caps go on or something. 2 full sets of them
