Re: It cost money to be a #'s guy I guess
 

To have original ones dated late would result in a smaller deduction than reproduction wires correctly dated.
The reproductions are not correct in the wire type or boots.
Some owners mix and match original wires with reproduction boots as some original wires are available. Some match reproduction wire with original boots if their wires are shot. Any way you do it, it's expensive for original L88 wires and boots.
Steve, correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points.

Tim, those wires are neat but with the wrong dates I could not justify that price. I know Llectic limited made nice repop wires for the L88 but those were 900 a set. They stopped making them for a while but they may be back on the market as a restorer bought their entire stock a few years ago and was charging 3k per set. I feel very fortunate to have the original wires still on my car.
