~~ Alan Horvath 1954 Chevy PickupSinging his praises in thePassing Lane | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | I am sure yours is one of the really rare ones though. You should put it on ebay with a starting price of $1,500.00 or trade for a yenko cross flow intake manifold. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Beware. The chrome airplane ornament has been legislated as ILLEGAL in ALL foreign countries and in ALL states except GEORGIA. Box it up and send it to me as quickly as possible before the authorities become aware you have possession.
