Am I the only one...
« on: April 24, 2009, 04:28:38 PM »
...who gets ammused when the dealer gives you parts in original vintage packaging? Went there today to get a set of points and the parts man came back with these, said he has one more set left. Just think, the air inside there is probably from 1972 ;D Do I use them or save them for historical preservation?

I will...when I get the money (buying a new car next week). I can't imagine anyone else buying them so I think I'm safe.

They will obviously be used, I just don't like destroying packaging that is that old.

No kidding.  Some dude was selling the air from some hurricane that blew through Florida some years back on ebay.  He even had pictures of himself outside with a jar and a lid.
