Let's look at this dispassionately.

If YOU were in that biz, what would you charge for a one of a kind?

... Given people dont seem to want 'plain vanilla' interior styling.

My bet...considering the amount of different part#'s for ALL parts, I'd
charge 4:1 markup.

Note that if you look close, Radio Shack marks up about 4 - 1 on most of
their products.

And let's not get into that "too many choices! We need central planning"
argument... figger a fog light switch for a volga or Yugo in the old
eastern bloc.. Dont forget to cost it as percentage of weekly income!

And you sure wouldnt even HAVE a Mustang, anyway!

Kwitcherbitchin!

Yeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price
you pay..DEAL with it!

newfordparts.com shows it at $27.94

One of the local dealers has it's parts department website feed into
newfordparts.com. The counter price is different there, as every other
ford dealer.

Anyway, check the websites of the local ford dealers and see if you can
find one that uses newfordparts.com or just ask if they can match that
price regardless.

I'll second that. Tim has had every part I've asked for and his prices
are good.
