[Zmagnette] Ebay stuff

[Steve Kirby]

omg, I'm not sure how to react to this!  Maybe he tried to sell the car, and someone told him the parts were worth more separately than the car was, in one piece?  The steering wheel medallion is insane . .  $69 for that?  Realistically, it probably does cost 1200 to have a grille repaired and plated, but it is shocking to see that price.  And, I think of Dee Johnson buying an NOS one, in the BMC wrapping paper for $35.!!!  I'm still mad at her for that.  I first offered her a quick $15.00 profit, and she wouldn't take it . . . geeesh.  Then, I offered to DOUBLE her money , and still, she wouldn't budge.  Know what they did with it?  Put it on their car . . . . wowsa.  

Maybe if this guy achieves anywhere near these prices, our parts cars are worth a lot more, eh?

  Prefer originality to performance? (original exhaust manifold)

  Need a slightly shabby steering wheel medallion?

  Need a fuel gauge?  This is a MK III-IV gauge but I believe it is the same as on Z-series cars.

  A Speedometer? Again, a MK III-IV item, but interchangeable? Perhaps with recalibration?
  http://www.ebay.com/itm/MG-Magnette-MKIII-MKIV-Jaeger-Speedometer-SS2704-00-1160-BMC-BCA4269-/120500498301?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMagnette&hash=item1c0e63af7d&vxp=mtr




  I have no connection with any of these sellers.  I was just curious to see if Ebay had anything that's actually for a Z Magnette.


  FWIW,
  Allen
