I was going to suggest empi radios as being hard to come by. You dont happen to have a spare one do you Thornton? I just went into the loft of my folks house, and I have a couple of empi bits in there. Nothing too exciting, a decklid trim set, down draft exhaust pipes, and empi logo shoe laces!

Here's an example of E-Bay bidding at its craziest. This cool little EMPI fuel filter box sold for $129.50 back in May 2003. That was just the box. The winner didn't even get the filter for that price!

Richard, you posted that just to bug the hell out of me 
Probably some of the rarest pieces I have:
These are thin metal badges. I also have original gtv stickers and cast badges in both metal and plastic.
... and just to push back at Richard, here are some pictures of my NOS shorrock supercharger belt.

How about this Inch pincher cam I sold a couple of months ago. You don't want to know how much I bought it for.

Sure, I do...
How much did you buy it for?How long ago?
Sell it for?
Not really familiar with EMPI stuff so I thought I'd ask.

That's a nice ROI.
I wish my UPS stock had that kind of a return.
Or at the very least my 401K!

I would have saved it but I'm really not that much of a collector. I just might kick myself down the road for selling it but what can you do? Anyway, the cam duration is probably way outdated. It's probably equivalent to an engle 110 or something.
