Another GM NOS TG vs Repop TG---AGAIN!
There's been a little confusion lately about the difference between GM & Repop TGs. Someone seemed to think the repops weighed under 30lbs & GMs over 50lbs.
Well, the ones I sell must be the HD model repops! I just weighed (again on a new digital scale) both again. Results: NOS GM = 54lbs and the Repop = 45lbs. That should be close enough for all uses except maybe dropping airplane engines on them. Both are new, primered, straight and look good. You can see the spot welds on the NOS, but that can be filled and worked out. I will sell you a Repop for about $300 or sometimes you can still find an NOS for about $800 or more. So what is a "take off" worth with original paint, no dents and the almost new GM handle & hardware??? Amazingly enough, they usually sell for LESS than the NOS. Go figure! If you don't like any repop parts, fine, but let's keep the information accurate so those who can't find or afford original can still make up their own minds. |
