I already scored a pair of red ones (w00t), but I spotted this today.

EDIT: Well, that was quick...
I was about to buy that when I got home this evening.I was watching it.I got an NOS red set as well some time ago.They are still in my sock drawer.I just can't get myself to use them.I'm waiting to find another pair,then,I'll have a set to fall back on if need be.
! Mine both have that crack on the rear side....
Green Sales has 6 of these in stock.
I don't know how much they are selling them for but it might be worth a call.

:cougarsmily:
It's a shame to pay that much money for a part that's just going to crack and disintegrate again...
This reminds me why I'm glad my LX has the TC style door panels:D
God i really need a good set of these.....
I just bought 6 of each side.WOO-HOO !!!!!!I was told they are the "smoke" color.
Vinnietbird isnt earning any brownie points with me....:raspberry
I may be willing to part with a pair or two when I recieve them.If they match my interior,the red ones will be up for sale.they are still in the factory bags.NOS pieces.I only wanted a pair,but figured I'd buy what they had.They may become hard to find,popular items someday.LOL.
Ok maybe i was a little quick to rush to judgement lol
I would be willing to part with cash if your willing to part with parts...lol
See how easy that works.I'm always pretty easy to deal with.Ask anyone here who has done business with me.I'm glad to help when I can.I am always looking for ways to "Support the Sport".LOL.
Just got two more sets.I'm trying to corner the market.
Well if you decide to part with a set i will make it worth your while lol besides I was just playing about you losing brownie points lol
I never took it as an insult.Believe me,after being around here foralmost 3 years,there's not much that bothers me.LOL.As soon as I get them,I'll let you know.I THINK the pairs are all matching,and "smoke" in color.I am guessing that is a shade of grey.Plus,like I said,I have a red pair already.
My co-worker friend is planning on trying to make repro door clips from the samples Vinnie sent me. If all goes well, we might move on to door cups, but no guarantees. If we decide to try it, I might be asking to buy a pair of cups from you, Vin so as not to risk mine...
I'll let you know when they get here.I'll post pics.It should be a nice picture.
Vin, PM me your price on the door cups.....;)
I'll get them and post some pics,then I'll try to make a fair price that can get me enough cash for aluminum heads.......just kidding about the heads.LOL.
Hey guys, do those door cups break a lot?
Is it from heat? or just the plastic breaking down?
just wondering.
On my other Bird,they lasted for about 8 years,then started cracking,then,broke.I bought replacement cups from Ford back then.
