Lucky Classifieds Find!

[05snopro440]

Over the weekend I was out of town visiting a friend. I had found a brand new still in the box and bag carburetor of the exact model that I was going to buy for my roadster listed on our local classifieds about 15 minutes from my house, for a very good price.

So I sicked my retired father on the case, within 3.5 hours of phoning him he was back at his place (a 2 hour round trip) and talked the guy down more, so I saved $500 on the exact part I was going to buy anyways. Score!

With our exchange rate and increases since COVID started, they've gone up a lot. New they're in the $900 range normally now.

I bought a new Street Avenger 2 years ago for my 62. Best money I've spent on a car in a long time.
