    I can't seem to find anything, except for one guy I found wants $800 EACH for USED 1/4's that have no rust, but aren't the greatest... not worth $1600 for sure... and I don't even need a whole half quarter...
    :pray: :Dou:

    Any help appreciated...

    They quit making 68 / 69 quarters years ago...
    I am sure that someone on the board can update the exact reason, but I heard the die broke and the demand did not justify the cost to fix the die.:pray:

    Someone buy them and let TPP or someone make a new die!

    There is a guy on ebay named HORSEAUTOPARTS he is in Bolingbrook, IL. About a month ago he had a 4 door nos qter I'm not sure what side but I believe it did not sell and the starting bid was under $100. He does not normally have reserve prices on his parts. I have bought parts off of him years ago.

    I almost bought that qter in the last minutes of the auction but I don't have a 68-69 Lark.

    no those arent tabco panels. the tabco's are bigger and they use a thicker gauge steel. i saw a set at the last swap meet and they look pretty good. if i remember right i think they were around $300/panel.

    i sound like a salesman for tabco:laugh: :Do No:

    Tabco IS $3xx. The place in CT that 10sec 455 mentioned has them for either $290 or $3xx. I checked ~ 2-3 weeks ago and they had 1 PS in stock with 2 PS/3 DS quarters enroute. :TU:
