    This seller has been posting parts for sale at insanely astronomical prices. That is a $150 cap . The parts are nice quality but I have 2 kidneys and want to keep them.

    Horn caps are the easiest items to restore. You can buy odd colored ones cheap too because no one wants them. All you have to do is drill out the three pop rivets on the back and they come right apart. Use vinyl dye on the colored part and polish the emblem up. Clean up the rest. In a worst case, you can sand and re-paint the silver part. Reassemble (it goes together one way) and put three new pop rivets in it. Comes out like brand with very little effort.

    Really, Darren? What Jason says is absolutely true. That one is still for sale and I don't see you snapping it up!

    Was walking through the swap meet in Hershey back in the early '90's and a vendor had one GM box in what I recall was the stereotypical Hershey booth (a bunch of "old car" stuff). I don't even know how I spotted it or what possessed me to walk over and open it, but damn if it wasn't an NOS black horn cap like above. "How much you want for this?" Guy says $10. I actually had the nerve to ask if he could do any better, but handed him the $ pretty darn quickly after he said no.

    Ha! That was a Jay Cook move!:D:D Nice. I would of done the same thing :D I don't care if it was 50 cents. I would of asked if he would take 25. Its the principle of it. Guy at the Nats has a 72 Stage 1 carb for sale for $60. I got him down to $50 :p

    There's gotta be swap meet vendors out there with recurring nightmares of you.
