They were listed as "KC lights". Lets just say I paid well below market value, they'll probably be up for sale soon(at something closer to market value) if anybody's interested. The smaller black pair are model 750, the chrome ones 850 GT, they almost look new.

Can you email me with what you need out of them? I've been looking for a decent set of fogs for the mx6 for... years.

SOME of the 67-68 Shelbys used Marchals....

20 years ago I scored a pair of Lucas lamps at a flea market for $15...

I sold them @ the Columbus Ford meet for $450.00

YOU LUCKY SONAMABITCH!

Honestly, I've been looking for a set for the '68, but I know I can't afford them.

The real question is, how many of us read this, rushed of to Craigslist, and looked up fog lights?

Uh, I did..but was quickly sidetracked by eBay listings of Marchal decals. My own damn fault for not having a car that old anymore, I guess.

I consider the score of the century if I find a Craigslist seller that actually wants to sell said item.

Is it because I'm only in my early 30's that I don't understand why someone would pay $450 for some fog lights?

A while back I bought four NOS Carello lights via a Mini message board. To Ferrari guys, they're probably worth a mint.

because you have yet to restore a 1967/68 Shelby Mustang in this instance... or likely have tried to "restore" any old car back to new like condition....

In my case I stumbled across one of the Shelby American unobtainium unicorn horns....

My BEST CL score was actually achieved remotely....

it isn't easy finding the original pot metal Nardi wheel spacers... 99% are the now required compress-able type

I don't ask such questions, I just pounce on a good profit making opportunity when one comes my way.

Don't feel bad, I'm in my 40's and have never even heard of these lights.

In reply to petegossett:

Not surprised, but Marchals and Cibies are prized by folks who want driving/fog lights of a certain vintage on their vehicles of that vintage.

IIRC Ford used Marchals on several vehicles through the 80's. My moms '89 Escort GT had Marchal fog lights.
