You're probably going to sit on that for a while. There's not a lot left of it & since GA is a no title state, people looking for a title-able pan are going to be few & far between, especially at that price point.

Now here's a great way to solve the problem of bumpers that need re-chroming ...just paint 'em black!!

NOS with a bulb in it? I doubt that. |
N.O.S. my A.S.S. That thing still has hooker DNA on the switch. His "NOS" regulator has screw mounting marks above the part number and possibly spade scratches on the brass lead too. Me thinks this cat needs some schoolin. But I'm glad he clarified his Kellison body is NOT a Manx- it was a tough call.
