Just thought I'd brag about a steal I picked up at the Pomona, CA swapmeet today -

Found a gorgeous set of 4 of the original rims, with beauty rims and GT hubs - the chrome looks brand new, the rims were sandblasted and re-painted. They were all original - snagged them for $275!

Also, grabbed myself an original WORKING instrument clock, with the entire instrument cluster in perfect condition for $35.

I'll post some pictures as soon as I get this stuff unpacked in the garage for those who would like to see.

Here's one of the four rims, with all the pieces.

Here's the clock, included was the knob as well.

You gots some NICE parts. I am looking for a clock too. I wish I could find one for only $35.00 ;)

What a buy! Are you going to have the clock reworked for quartz movement?

Thanks, I'm kind of new at the swapmeet thing - so I was hoping you guys could confirm that I paid a good price! I thought 275 was decent for those wheels, I seen the clocks go for pretty high so I think I did good.

As far as reworking for quartz movement, I think I'm just going to keep it full stock. It electronically winds just fine, and with a tiny drop of clock oil it'll move a little bit looser than how it is now!

It's hope for the rest of us! I just looked at every booth at the swapmeet, until I found it covered in dust in an instrument panel!

Make sure to check EVERYTHING, and I'm more than positive you can pick a good clock up for 35 bucks as well. They ARE out there!

Goodluck to you all! Thanks for letting me know I did good.
