i was thinking of bidding on this because i'm chasing an intermittent problem and i'm questioning the reliability of my fuel pump.
it started at $.99 and went crazy. looks like a pretty average condition gage to me, is it really that valuable? is it just because it says kenne bell?

Those KB gauges usually sell high, if they're in good condition.

If you look at the bid history it's two guys going at it. (with 3 days left, how dumb)

That's the dream of anybody that sells at auction.

Could also be the owners "buddy" shill bidding

 

[earlbrown]

that would be ballsy to shill bid that high. That gauge is worth nowhere near what it's already at. Who knows where it'll end up.

Popcorn time!!
I like the nostalgia of them but not at that price.

Reminds me of the 5" Buick Motorsports tach that sells for crazy money.

Yea i sold one a few yrs ago for $100

Same one i sold i saw the guy repost it for $500 BMS memorabilia?! i was like ok w,e funny thing is he sold it same day.. i was like ok i must have given it away.. Now everyone that i see for sale is 3/400+

Just a guess, but it may be the hood bracket as much as the gauge itself.

that must be a pretty sweet hood bracket then.

i'm sure that if this was my auction, buyer's remorse would strike right around the time the auction ended, and i'd never get paid for it.

I love mine. Had to replace the gauge though as the kb started fluttering real bad. 160k miles on it, so it was due.

[psycho6cyl]
