    40 year old new spark plugs

    These are autolite 45 . They are still in the box. Bought from gold circle in the mid 70's. Make an offer. Don't know what they are worth. It says they are good for a maverick with a 302. Ha

    Dad went in a nursing home and mom ask me to clean the garage out. It took me about 5 days. He went to a lot of auctions in the 60's and 70's. Amazing how much stuff he had from wooden block and tackle to hand turned corn grinders. I have a fire place insert but don't have a fire place. He has a lot of " what to hell is this " stuff. I do have a chiltons manual for all cars and it's dated 68 to 72 if anyone is interested. He had 6 quarts of the old oil cans. My sister had a wreck years ago and dad had some of the old oil cans in her car. They all exploded from the force and covered everything with oil.
