Check out this ebay link-I guess some parts of the economy are humming right along.

This same frame was in the Martin's Corvette pricing magazine last month where it went for $202.00. This is really incredible.

A few weeks ago another pair of NOS Harry Mann Corvette frames went for nearly $800. A few singles have been on eBay in th epast months, also.

Why are these so valuable? What am I missing here? It's not like it would add judging points.

In the 60's Harry Mann was THE Corvette dealer in the US. They supported high performance 110%. A number of members may remember the black/black '64 high option FI coupe with KO's and blackwalls tested by magazines in '64, one with it next to a red 289 Cobra. Harry Mann advertised in numerous car magazines in the 60's, also.

Interesting. Well, I wasn't even born until 1964, so that's my excuse for being uninformed.

I watched a pair of original C2 floor mats sell on EBay about two weeks ago for $415!!!

I recently watched a set of 1965 original, dated, restored Kelsey Hayes knock-off wheels complete with adapters, lugs, spinners and caps sell for $6900 and the other set for a few hundred dollars less. Is that the going price for a set of original KH wheels these days?

Actually, that's a pretty good price for ebay. Most complete sets over the past year or so have sold for 8 - 10 K. I noticed that the last couple of sets have sold for 6 - 7 K.

I feel the best was about 6/7 months ago when Pro-Team sold non-dot tires mounted on original k/o's for $30,000 - the deal still does not look reight to me. Watching e-bay everyday is better then looking at THE ANTIQUE ROADSHOW.

Those are really nice, Corvette ones are really rare. If I had a documented HM car I'd of gone that large also. Lucky for me I found my original dealer frames at Pomona for $40.

I bought a new set of what may be consideder reproduction Harry Mann frames about 20 years ago. What's the story on these? They looked very close to the real thing but were obviously not.
Is someone still making reproductions of these today?

Re: License Plate Frame-WoooooooooW-eBay

I have a 66 coupe with both original Harry Mann license frames. Guess I'll remove them until show time.
