New record for a 3x8 toolkit?

Someone in England is asking £2970 or $4500US for a 308 toolkit!

Yes, maybe a record asking price, but it looks pretty complete to me. There is a separate thread on 3X8 toolkits, and there is no real conclusion on what is correct / not correct. If you want the real deal, you may want to put your money on this one.

 

Is the kit for the glass cars actually unique from all the other carbed cars' kits ??

If so, I guess it would be quite rare and fetch the same premium that the glass car itself gets.

If not, then that seems like a sucker price to me.

 

It's a standard kit in average condition, worth about 700 USD/EUR

USD$4999.

 

thats a joke u can buy whole tool kit and with air tools for that price no way would i pay that much for a tool kit that u would use any way

 

In Italy last week one like new for 300 €, included a cover car for BB

 

They have been going up for some time now. Here is one including the Jack kit for $5999. Both will be on the market for a long time. It's only $1000 a month for six months though.

Using one of these original tool kit items to repair your car is being a thief of your own pocket with these prices.

 

No, it is the same as an early steel car, not anything special about it.
That kit looks like the one I recently sold to the Uk for 1,200USD.

But I think the 'glass car owner was glad to have it so not selling.

That pouch looks FAR better, even new.

So my guess is those are period correct tools, in an unused pouch.
Those are the correct set for a 1976 -77 NON CAT carbed 308GTB

They were ALL GTBs, you know....

 

I leave mine scattered all over the boot...

 

you should buy that one!

 

Hi, I didn't' took the one at 300 € because in April a I have bought one for my 328 at 450 € ...so I decided to not buy another...

 

I'll sell both rolls for 200k and throw in the car.

Screwdrivers and pliers are wrong, at least for an early 308.....Can't read the spanners..

 

Agree that early pliers, but late (rusted) screwdrivers!

 

Black pliers are earlier than the plated ones, followed by the orange handles of later kits.

 

By the shape of them they look like Everest wrenches.

 

Sellers can ask whatever they'd like... buyers aren't paying those prices. Tool kits are legitimately trading for between $800-1,200 depending on condition and completeness/correctness.

 

Sold for (£): 1,763 (2.460 €)

 

The auction house must have been serving stiff drinks!

 

Premium included?

 

Yes ;-)

 

It not even a correct set
