So I just saw a black grain type SLR ashtray go for 660 dollars on eBay. There is no way I'm ever gonna pay that Much for one. Is anyone making repro of the black grain type ashtrays?

Blood hell, crazy. I was willing to pay around 400 but 1000 jeeze. My intention was to make a silicone mould of it then use casting resin to make new ones

Sound like the one i was watching, started with a low price but went out of control.

 

FFS it's only an ashtray.

 

Don't know about black grain ones but Rares do a silver one.

There was a guy on here who was selling repros. Sold out like hotcakes. I understand they are on the rare spares wish list.

I have 2 in the shed, i think they are silver ones but have had the paint stripped off them and one looks like it might have been polished.

 

Took the torana to Dysart for a quote to get the paint and rust done (about a couple of years ago now) and we had pulled up at the local shops for some lunch,

before heading home when this dude pulled up in a ZD Fairlane for a sticky beak, told me he had an SL/R ashtray at home, he went straight home and got it for me, free of charge.

 

These car seem to bring the friendly out in everyone...............even F%^d drivers.

 

Not sure where the second one came from, pretty sure i didn't pay for that one either.

I think $660 is a fair price for such a rare item. I have many genuine SLR and SS ash trays but only 1 black 1 and you can always pick a repo, cheers Aaron.

Was it your ashtray on eBay Aaron.

I'm sorry but I don't care how rare they are they are still not worth $660, honestly would you pay that much for one.

Hi Mort, no it was not my ash tray, I won't be selling mine as it is in a car and I would have been disappointed if I sold mine for that, cheers Aaron.

It's about the same size as the glovebox lid on your baby torana.

Do you want to drive around without a glovebox lid? :)

I'd be interested, I might even have a broken black dash that could be used.

I will see if they will do them again for me, by memory i will have to do a minimum of 10 and for those who didn't get one last time you have to do the silver bit yourself with a pen
