OK I understand the whole collectible thing, probably more so than most. But for some reason I just can't seem to get my head around collecting car parts. Parts are meant to be bolted on your car and used!
Very weird that I can't seem to accept this. I've dealt with people that collect the strangest things you've ever heard of. Including a lady that went around to old houses and collected pieces of linoleum.
That's a super cool item to have or to use.
I think it's neat to collect rare engine parts. I never did it, but I had considered putting an ad in Hemmings (pre Internet days) for damaged rare parts. Tunnel port heads, SOHC Heads, Boss 429 heads, Cross Boss intakes, etc.,. I was hoping to get stuff real cheap and just maybe set it on top of my TV or who knows where. Wouldn't that be cool, a 427 SOHC head on top of your TV? A Cross Boss intake just sitting around in your garage?
One time I bought a set of 4v heads for my 2v Cleveland. They never made it to the engine, but I thought they looked really cool sitting in my living room. I was 21 and single. Maybe that's why I'm still single
I think I displayed them for 2 years until I sold em.
NCCC member Chuck Mosley had a set of tunnel port heads in his shop in the late 80s or early 90s. They looked so cool sitting on that shelf. They kind of make a positive statement about the owner and his expertise.
