Well, another auction ended moments ago for the hood letters. $12 going to Turkey! I have a Royal 501 vacuum cleaner from the 60s with the box and literature ending too. $12 no bids, 7 or 8 watchers! It has become a stir on vacuum collector forums apparantly, but no one has pulled the trigger!
The "Galaxie 500" fender script sold today, a bidding war of 11, and a final price of $31.50. Starting bid was $10.
So far, breaking even and making a profit so far from the junkyard picks should not be hard I only sold two little pieces so far (others pending). So far, I have got $31.50+$12.00=$43.50-$75.00=$31.50 left until I start profiting. I will easily get that, I'll be going back from real potentially big dollar items soon.

LOL, I didn't even know there was such a thing. "Wow Bob I bet that thing really sucks".

Looks beautiful but I hope it isnt like my wife, who looks beautiful but lost all its suction after marrage. :lol:

LMAO!
I read somewhere there was slogan in the 1920s. it went something like:
"Sucks better than a good flapper girl"
I forget which company had it though.
I went junkyard pickign again yesterday. Sadly, closing early, so I had to pick and choose my battles. I went for the gauge cluster from the Montego GT. I paid $10 for it. I'll go back Wed. when I have more time and are off from school. I also went to the antique store again and picked up a few Hallmark Christmas ornaments for cheap. One of which was VERY familiar. I'll get pics or better yet, just look here:

UPDATES:
I sold the cluster for $112.50
Passenger mirror to Australia for over $50
trunk emblem for $5
etc.
I recently broke even or took a loss on a PINK AMX/2! GOOD GRAVY!
I have a Silhoutte here, not the best. But picked froma dusty old closet and my step-dad's house while cleaning. [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190482521528&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url]
I'll try and pull up some links of the CAR STUFF for you guys. The wether will warm up Friday and Saturday so I may go picking more then.
Oh, I also have been flipping Hallmark ornaments and I had pink '59 Caddy come through. If it didn't sell, I would have kept it. But I am stuck with a Nutcracker Mouse King and a Coca-Cola Santa it looks like. Off to my friend's flea market!
Here are some pics of the parts from the Montego I have picked and most I posted on eBay and sold already. I still have the door panel which I need a box for, and the front fender emblems. I plan to go back later this week when the weather is nicer.
