Default Re: Reproduction Battery Warning

I then called Antique Auto Battery in Ohio 1-800-426-7580. They are now the GM License holder to the Antique Delco Batteries.They said they get $230 for the New Sealed R-59 & it will be at least 2 weeks or more waiting list.
The R-59 Open Lead acid is $140 & readily available.
They can stamp any Date on them you wish.

I just got off the phone with Antique Auto Battery. They told me that they can stamp the datecode on the Open Lead and the Maintenance Free R-59 Delco Batteries. I just have to decide which battery I should go with. Pay $140.00 for the Open Lead, or $230.00 for the maintenance free. They mentioned that both of these R-59's look identical and correct on the outside.
Has anybody ordered the maintenance free battery, and received it yet? Thoughts?
