Early "D" Hub Caps Going For Record Price!

[dkd021]

I guess I'll chime in about this auction too. I sold this guy a pair of "D" hubcaps about a year ago for $200 ( I had 3). The two that I sold him though, while very nice, did have some storage scratches & a couple of the clips on the back were bent up, which I mentioned in the auction. In fact, after I only got $200 for never installed "D" hubcaps I thought I might have exagerrated their flaws in the description.

It was obvious that they had never been put on a car. They were prime 20 footers, heck 10 footers, but upon closer inspection the flaws would easily be noticed. I tried unsuccessfully to photograph the flaws in the auction but they were there.

Now I'm not saying that these are the same hubcaps, they very easily could be different. Maybe these are his "show" caps & he had a set of "driving" caps, which is where the two I sold him come in. BUT, if two of them in this auction are the ones that came from me then someone may be a little disappointed after spending the kind of money we're talking here.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone who's interested & I'm definitely not trying to say or insinuate anything negative about this seller. Only my experience with never installed "D" hubcaps.

Hello,

I am also very interested in the early hubcaps.6 years ago,I started own my this 240Z and I was only able to have Japanese caps "center hexagonal mark" insted of "D",so I put custom D by myself with a dubble side tape.At the LASVEGAS convention,the judges were confused the caps looks original but not exactly original...

I post these caps before,they came from Mr.Matsuo(Chief designer of first genaration Z).Actually they were NOS in 2004,they had not seen the sun light 34 years.I put them for the convention in Long Beach for the second time to attend for me.They sat in Mr.Matsuo's garage with some parts,over riders /antennas/ radios which I have got from Mr.Matsuo.

Ebay NOS/Mint condition caps are mostly later version,tabs are different from the early one which I have got.

How much will it be if I list these Mint/early caps from Mr.Matsuo?

But of cource I never never sell them to any one if I die!!
