Yes I have seen the eBay extremes and I felt guilty about selling my NOS extremes for $735. I wish I had the several sets that I have traded and sold in the recent past. I just really miss them , sounds lame. just saying!

It's like money in the bank

i have a few "special" parts that on occasion i consider selling (i could definitely use the cash for other parts). but just like you said i know i would miss them! that sounds totally dumb but it's the truth.

*Coatingguy* · 05-19-2017, 08:22 AM

I understand that, I think back all the things I've sold, thinking I needed the money at the time. I've never seen a set of extremes in person, plenty of sets of 69 to 72's. I have three sets of those hanging in the garage if you decide you'd settle for a set of those

**a1vintage69** · 05-24-2017, 08:26 AM

CASH for your stash! Wanted Extreme Bend Tow Hooks.

**JMac11** · 05-24-2017, 09:43 AM

What would be the tipping point for someone to start making these?

A large amount of up front money and and order for 300 or more is my guess!

$10,000.00 before you even get a physical hook ! 1000 minimum hook order.

They both go in the same direction extremely ! Named for the Extreme bend in them.

Here is a set for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/112414671690...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I could sand cast these from aluminum. Of course, they would not be for actual use-but indistingushable from steel originals when painted and installed. I'd have to get my foundry back up and running ...............

This was discussed in length several times. A member even went as far as talking to a possible vendor to produce them. Copyright infringement, cost prohibition, liability were all issues that needed to be factored in.

**a1vintage69** · 06-06-2017, 09:26 AM

keeping it alive ttt

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-06-2017, 02:31 PM

He wouldn't have to worry about copyright infringement as long as he didn't put the GM part numbers on them. Cost and liability would definitely be issues though. WES

**a1vintage69** · 06-19-2017, 08:22 PM

Wanted your 72 extremes. I have some amazing nos parts that I could trade or just pay plain old cash for you stash@! A1

Thanks for heads up. not ready to pay more than I have sold and traded for several sets of hooks on here in the past. If I had a do over I would have kept all the extremes I let go. I did collect a lot of good nos parts in trade for my hooks. Sellers regrets I think it is called. a1

A set sold on eBay recently for $1000...I doubt the price will get any lower until these get reproduced.
