Come on Alan, you know I'm the only place on the planet that has those.
I can tell you with all certainty they will never get made again, the tooling was broken when making the second run. Additionally, had I known how difficult the tooling was going to be to make, they wouldn't had been done in the first place. I might have x25 sets of lenses left and I'm keeping x5 sets for me. I also have about the same of complete assemblies.
Would you be willing to sell me a set ? Shipped to my CDN address ?

Why wouldn't I? Unless your paying for parts with Monopoly or Canadian money. Would you like me to email you the total with shipping? Paypal to "Friends and Family" is easy enough.
Thank you, PayPal payment has been sent. :handshake:
They are beautiful parts

:iagree: makes my uncracked survivor pieces look ancient!

You don't need a spare set, I have absolutely no problem hoarding the last few for myself.
That's what I was afraid of.
The smart money is to buy the 25 sets Mike has and then wait a few years. :bigmoney:

I remember around 1999 when I got my Cuda WISHING these were available. I cobbled a good set together from ebay and swap meets, (read $$$). By the time these were available, I no longer "needed" a set and thought if I ever did, I would easily just buy then. When I read Mikes post about only 25 left, I bought a set to put away Just in case my 40 year old ones crack and haze more than they are now.
I would also like to buy his Grill, a set full set of metro panels, and a spare dash pad, again just in case. I remember when there were hardly any repro parts available and we tend to think the ones that are available now will be available forever. I also recently bought a rally dash woodgrain from performance car graphics for the same reason as above although that is going in the car.
Moral to this story, Buy these parts when they are available and don't assume they will be available for ever.
EDIT: add 70 Cuda fenders, full quarter panels, and all the little AMD pieces available.

:iagree: all could come in handy if you stumble on another project too. :banana:
Called up Mike this morning to order a couple sets of park light lenses. He told me my grills were junk too. I said how do you know? I thought they were in pretty good shape. He said trust me they are all junk. Buyer beware. By the time I got off the phone Mike was sending me two complete grills and I was sending him all my money. Now we are checking what else we might need that isn't being made anymore, so I can call him again and let him insult my parts somemore. I just can't get enough abuse. :)

It was great chatting with you this morning Gary, you've got some great cars for sure. I'm glad you ponied up and ordered one of the last few argent & a black plastic AAR grille assembly I have left, your car deserves it.
BTW, I only took the money that fell out of your pockets after shaking you up side down by your ankles, I can't help it if enough fell out for a grille for your 6pk Cuda and AAR. Both 4 speeds I might add. :thankyou:
Mike likes taking your money.... But he gives you all kinds of really cool stuff in return.....
You guys are making me think I should call Mike... :console: I need more parts. :takemymoney:

Will lets see, $199 + 10% ebay fees + 3% paypal fees. I'll gladly take care of you guys at $199 if you can send payment direct thru paypal to "Friends and Family" so there's no fees.

I'm not going to quote prices but the whole lamp assembly is a better value and they even come with a bulb.

As long as you been working on E-Bodies you should know by now, the old/new saying is, "You snooze, you pay more" :haha: :rofl:
Got our two grills today. They look super. Hope they fit as good as they look. But it's going to be a little while before we see. Can't wait to get these B bodys done so we can start on the Cudas

I can promise you Gary, they will fit just a bad as an original. I just finished welding up the square holes on my AAR for the headlight bucket clips and moved them so the trim fits flush to the end of the fender.
Oh man: You just reminded me how fun it was fitting the grille and headlight doors on my old Cuda. Tolerances were not like a new car.
You know a customer has never worked on a 70 Cuda when he calls and wants to know why his new grille doesn't fit the same in the car as it does sitting on his work bench. So I say, let me guess, one bucket sticks out farther than the other and there is a gap where the buckets and center section meet? That's perfect, no one will know it's a new grille.
Sign me up for a pair of those lenses, please. I'll do the F&F on Paypal. Will send PM as well.
Received my parking lights. They are really NICE !
Now for the grille.
I grabbed a set before they are gone forever. :takemymoney: I know Mike and everything he touches is perfect so I know they are the best. I'm not going to miss this chance to get them.

Should see them Tuesday Cody. Did a physical count yesterday, I have x15 sets left and I'm keeping x5 of those for me so I have x10 sets left to sell. I also have x12 complete assemblies remaining. Plenty of pigtails that I can install in customer supplied housings. In addition, I have x25 sets of 71 front parking light lenses left and yes, I'm keeping x5 sets of those also for my personal stash.
So Mike,
What kind of deal can you do for a 70 cuda grille, h/l bezels and chrome trim?

I would sell you the absolute very last complete argent grille assembly with trim I have left for $870. 100% complete with red bars, "Plymouth" emblem, trim and painted here less the parking light assemblies. If you want the complete grille with parking lights? That would be $1,195. I will hold this last grille for you until the end of day today, after that, it will be available for sale.
I have other grilles left that I do not have trim for.

Really glad you're happy Dennis, it's going to look awesome in your car. :)

Mine arrived safe and well packed. They look AWESOME!!! What are people going to do when these are gone? :dunno: Better get a set now while you can. I do not see anyone making these again. :alan2cents:
The F&F PayPal sounds good...can I get a set Mike?
Mike sold me a set of 71' Cuda park lenses quite a while back.
They are great. Very high quality.
