You're bidding on a matched set of used 16-inch Trico wiper blades with NOS Trico refills for '68-82 Corvette.  These are the ones with flat black paint and bridge surface embossed 'TRICO Made In USA'.

The fresh NOS refill rubber is characteristic of later era blades as the side wall is flat without raised lines.  The last picture is a comparison shot of the upper bridge detail contrasting today's service replacement blade from Trico (upper) to factory originals from the era.  Note how the replacement blades are wider in the center and narrow toward the outer ends.  On early Shark cars, this geometry difference can interfere with the washer tubes integral to the wiper arm making the blades not sit flush with the glass, especially on the passenger side! 

Shipping calculator presumes USPS priority mail service.  Buyer to pay $2 handling fee plus freight at cost (you can define an alternate method of shipment).  Sale to complete within 10-days of auction close.

The Traffic Booster is a simple little device: a few resistors, some switches, a box with a cheap car horn in it.

But the apocalyptic infuriation it causes is priceless, and if deployed across a city center, the ensuing riots will cause untold millions in damages.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

The slow-selling 2012 Fiat 500 now has another obstacle in its sales path: It has been tagged by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with a three-star safety rating, the lowest of any new model tested so far. The two-door subcompact received four stars from NHTSA for frontal crash and rollover accidents but received just two stars for side-impact crash safety, the agency announced on its Web site, safercar.gov. The tests gave the car a combined overall safety rating of three stars, NHTSA reported.
