    I don't have many rare car parts or anything like that. Actually come to think about it i have a custom fuel tank from an old Bently Special.
    I do have a rare guitar and amplifier though. The Guitar is a Squire Stratocaster, JV for those that are interested, and the amp is a Redmere soloist, one of ten ever made.

    I have a program for the 1999 Vancouver CART race which is signed by JPM, who won that race en route to his first championship.

    I have a drawing that I did of the "incident" between messers Coulthard and Schumacher at Spa 1998, signed by DC.

    I guess that'd be quite rare.
    Thanks for all the fish

    i explained the whole thing in the hide-out sr-71 thread, but i can hash it out pretty quickly. my aunt's husband's parents own a scrap yard outside of lancaster, CA. in the area of edwards afb. when they were decomissioned, their scrap yard won a contract on 2 or 3 of them. he knew i was into planes and military stuff, so he nabbed me a piece. its part of a engine bay door hinge. i woudl egg nog it, but it is at my mother's house. since the first time this came up for me to egg nog it i have not been home. its a 4 hour drive, and whith my insane schedule as of late, i havent been able to make it. as i have spent only about 3 weekends since christmas not underway or on duty, and i do like to sometimes spend time with my wife. it is looking like the next time i do get to go home will be in june. hopefully then i wioll remember to bring it to take pics of it.

    there you go. story's over.

    That story is pretty cool I have to admit. The plane itself is one of the most beautiful things I have seen. Awesome find.

    are you serious?

    i believe it when i see it.........

    the stuff you have listed there is the impossible to even touch stuff.
    Only people doing stuff like assembling the cars would have ever made contact with them

    could you have possibly been dreaming

    I have a Carter carburetor from a 1976 Dodge Aspen, it had the 225 Slant Six engine. I keep it for its sentimental value. Maybe one day it'll be worth mil...nah, something.

    Ascari KZ-1R and KZ-1 brochures arent that rare anymore, they mass produced about 150,000 copies (of which I have 1) for the MPH Top Gear motor show, thats a lot more than Bugatti have done for the Veyron.
