As Duane states, the 'concours restoration' world is a crazy, bizzaro world where the dollar takes last place.
For the Fairlane/Galaxie bunch... this block is part of the Grail.
Turk, like the block last week, and this one too, they are "car" blocks, from the initial production.. not service, spare or replacement blocks..which command a lesser value in the 'concours' world.
This "thru the looking glass" crew will pay $700 for a rearview mirror...or $250 for an emblem, if it's the right part....I've seen it.
That's their fun... but it comes at a price.
...I can relate.
