I don’t believe it. A front valance showed up on ebay the other day with $10.00 starting price and no reserve. I bid the $10.00 so it could not be taken off. I watched it at least twice a day for six days but nobody was bidding but me. Last night the bidding would be over around 9:30 PM, I was going to wait until then and at the last second up my bid to $200.00 because the freight from texas was $179.34. But as it has happened many time before I forgot about it, around 11 o’clock I went to bed. Still not remembering it, I got on my computer this morning and found out I was the winner at $10.00.
I’m either the luckiest guy in the world or the 59 Plymouth universe stood still for 6 days except for me. At $189.34 I think it’s a pretty good deal.

Congratulations!! Good thing do still happen. This reminds me of one of my good happenings through the years. In 1986 I was looking for some parts for my first 59SF (the white one in the Showcase under Larry Flynn) and found a guy in Portland, OR with an attic full of stuff. I found what I was looking for plus a brand new valance with the part # still written on it I paid $20 dollars for it and freighted it home with other parts. Of course $20 was a lot of money in 1986!
Keep up the good work

Glad to hear that it was you that was the lucky one, Dick!!

Gotta wonder what was on the seller’s mind when he initially posted it, with no reserve.
I hope it is “as advertised”, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy!
Thanks Roger - I hope and pray he is not pissed and gave it a whack.
Dick.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! GOOD DEAL!!
