That is the normal two tone set-up for the ultra rare Ford Tempest.

Anyone willing to wear a chuck of cheese on their head would definitely want this stapler....

Do a search on "GTO Guru" and that will answer all your questions. He's a character to say the least but has bought a few things from me.

It's the "Billions and Trillions" goof ball that has been around forever. I've actually thought about buying a few things from him, but his website is such an awful mess that I never bothered. A lot of his stuff appears to be average stuff that he blasts, throws some paint on it, or has bad body work done and sells it for crazy prices .... and he probably gets those crazy prices from people that aren't really involved in the hobby.

I'm always amazed at the number of people with vintage cars that basically know nothing about their car, where to get parts, how to work on it etc. They are totally at the mercy of guys like this. You even meet them at car shows ... people that basically just bought and old car that looks cool to them, it breaks, they take it to their local mechanic. Which is fine, just surprising how many of them there are.
