I wouldn't mind getting my paws on a set of NOS rotors, but not at this price!

Did someone actually pay this price or a close best offer?  At least they got free shipping if they did!

Missing one of the boxes , so I'm out.

I'm wondering what the story behind the '9191 is.  I had an NOS one with a '73 date code I'd advertised off and on listed on several sites including here for $950.  Last summer a guy contacted me here and told me he had a concours hemi cuda he'd left at a classic car brokerage as collateral on a loan.  When he'd retrieved it, some rare date coded parts had been taken off and replaced by aftermarket parts including the MC by the shady brokerage.  He wanted to sell the cuda and was replacing the swiped parts to get it back up to speed.
He said he could restamp my MC to make the date code good for his car.
Well, that is the seller of this NOS MC for $2995. 
Also, he contacted me in December through Linked In tracking me down as the author of the Mopar Action MC article to ask me questions about date codes.  He obviously didn't remember I was the one he'd bought the '9191 from 6 months earlier.
So I'm suspicious if this one was the one he got from me, with the date code changed to a 1969?

Yikes.....

I'll bet very few of the TA/AAR's still have the Original 2 part Rotors unless they have been replaced with OEM Stock.

The TA/AAR's came from the factory with the High Sintered Metallic Disc Pads that gouged the crap out of the Rotors,

Mine had the Original High Sintered Metallic Disc Pads and 2 piece Rotors when I bought it and the Rotors were so badly gouged, they were already below the Minimum Thickness at about 45,000 miles and the Rotors were already Obsolete from Chrysler and you could only buy aftermarket and this was in the early 80's. No internet around then so I had to buy the one piece Rotors.

Damned if I'd ever pay $3000 for a set of Rotors.

Those rotors look similar to my 68 AMX two-piece rotors, but AMX rotors were not vented . Extremely rare!!! A pair of 68 AMX rotors showed up on eBay and I snagged them for a song. They were packed in cosmoline when the rotors arrived. What's weird about the AMX rotors is the lug studs are swedged in place. See photo.

The seller must have realized he was giving it away at $1900 so he re-listed the '9171 at $2500!

That's approximately what I paid for my T/A when I was in high school.
