I've been watching this from the beginning. thought i'd grab them for the spare patina lenses, incase anything happened to mine over the years.

the auction started at 1 cent....I was like...yeah i'll nab these....I was wrong.

I doubt that car is only 255 bucks. I bet you wish you hadn't thrown those out now!

Hopefully this will make you feel better.

Back in 1978 I knew a fellow from Norway who paid $90 for those lenses. I thought "boy you sure do like that car!".
