Need left headlight for my '87 TA...

I got stiffed on eBay, and I need a left headlight PDQ, so I can get my car inspected and drive it...legally, at least.

Watch out for "answeracin" on eBay. I PayPal'ed him the money (I was in a hurry for the light!) on 6/29. I emailed him on7/10 and asked what was going on with it...he said it would "ship this week". Well, I still don't have it, and he hasn't responded to any of my emails since 7/19.

Sooooooooo...does anyone out there in TGO-dom feel really sorry for me? I'm already in to this light for $28 and a month's waiting...so can someone make it fairly painless for me, and make me a good deal on a headlight assembly? My motor and the lever that goes from the motor to the headlight are trashed. Otherwise I think I'm okay.

Thanks!

Wow. I think I'm going to go around and buy all the F-bodies I can find and part them out. They're worth a mint!

$50+ is officially out of my price range. Like I said, I'm already out $28 before I ever place a bid on another one.

How'd I get the first one for $28 shipped...and now they're going for $50?!?!

i have to find a pair of 87 up assemblies for my 82 as well

they tend to go for a chunk of change, due to the demand

its how it works

good luck

you know guys its sad to say but alot of the third gens are worth more in peices than together. I love them as much as anybody else, but it would have taken more money to fix it than it was worth (together).

Well, I guess demand is really up this month. Buy in June guys, not July!
I won the eBay auction for my light on 6/29, for $28 shipped. The seller finally did email me back, and has supposedly shipped the light now. Hopefully I will really get it this time.
