Kenosha Warrior Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I started at Decoma-Autosystems. They make taillights and modular headlights for the big 3, plus Harley Davidson, Mack truck and Aston Martin . Today I was digging through stock looking for a misplaced crate when I found a bin marked Chryco/Amc- Jeep. (We make Jeepstuff too) Inside 3 of these same marked, dusty as hell bins are 400 Comanche taillights with inspection stickers dated 1988-1989 I inquired about them. Since its a discontinued model, they are now ours to sell/crush for plastic pellet credit. I'm going to make an offer for one of the bins and liquidate them cheap here. $50/set incl shipping in US/Can?

Eagle Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Any chance we could take up a collection and buy all three bins? It's great to save 133 sets, but that still means 266 sets are being crushed. If they're going to crush them anyway, it would seem like any bid at all is gravy for them. I'll take a pair, BTW. Also ... you said three of the four bins had MJ tail lights. What's in the 4th bin?

dfreeman616 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 i may have to get an extra set or two... :brows:
Kenosha Warrior Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Eagle, the 4th bin had XJ/MJ corner reflectors and turn signals, they were the scratched product scraps. Most are still in better shape than ones on our rigs now. Ill aim for all 4. I can possibly swing a deal. Will check tomorrow
JohnQ Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Count me in, it can't hurt to have an extra couple of sets. :D
mfpdm Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Count me in on this one as well. I've got two sets but a new set would be sweet. Take a pic of those bins if you can. :D Only thing that would be better then this is if you found a bin with the two piece headlight bezel. :bowdown:
Kenosha Warrior Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 no pics unfortunately. High security place. We hold the new headlight desings for the new GM's... they look like an alien cornhole to be blunt I'm in for a litle bit today. Ill see what the Prod. Manager says.
Rob S Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Keep me posted on this one, always good to have an extra set.
rockhardzj Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 eGay would be a good place to put a bunch of them up in a store or something.
over2land Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I'd like 2 sets as well. Any luck scoring the crates?
SomeNew Name Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 best news I've heard all day.. and I live just a wee bit north of you too!! I'll snag a set for sure too..
Kenosha Warrior Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 FAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKKK a local collector bought them. $3000 worth of mj taillights are now part of his odd, elaborate vehicle/parts collection.

I guess we'll be seeing them on the bay here pretty soon. :( Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Eagle Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Bummer. The old saying was correct: "He who hesitates is lost."

WTF would anyone want 399 sets of MJ tail lights for a collection?? Unless he's :nuts: . Look for them to turn up on FleaBay soon I bet............... Let's see, 399 x $50 = $19,950. Nice profit.
