[The Big Al]

7 ea. At a old parts store in small town. I had to take a short cut today do to accident So I saw the Ac Delco sign! So I just pulled in. He had 7 on hand.

Here's the funny part. And I quote, " Hey Bud, give me ya number and I will get ya some more" I said "if you can please call". Him: " O' yea, been a while, these old filters no body wants, I will give ya case price, seeing how I don't have a case, That work for ya?" I answer: WITH A BIG SMILE!

"Man I thank ya, please contact me if ya find any PF35, and by the way check on some PF25's." No problem!

He is about to get a real education on obsolescence!

All you resto guys just drool!

if you don't mind me asking....how much could one of these baby's fetch on ebay?

Why would the resto guys drool over truck filters? 35's are trucks, 25's are car.

those filters are no big deal. because i actually got one the other week. (the chevy dealer sent me the wrong one.) they said they were out of stock and had to order the filter in. well they delivered it and it was the old style filter. so you can get them and its not all the rare....

 

[big dog ss]

the rare filters are the old style white box and the filter is blue..

I guess I must be missing something here. Unless I was a resto-geek, why would I care what the hell my filter looks like?

exactly:yes:

you notice the filters al bought have the new box. the ones that are worth more money are in the old style box.. if you can find some fool willing to pay 20 bucks or more for these keep selling them til they catch on...

unless you are buying for decoration in your shop or something i really dont see the fascination with them... i will stick with my wix or napa gold...
