It showed on their computer as orderable but didn't say how many were in stock.

Awesome. I'm guessing that mounts over the jack area?

I hate to be nit picky but that is not the right triangle.

Should be this.

can you read the model number off the triangle case?

[moreoff]

Yesss euro valance and trim ;D all from the dealership :-D
trim really isn't that rare, but i feel like the valance is in the USA.

Are you sure? I'm 99% sure my triangle has the same case as the first guy only yellow. Maybe there was a change at some point

It's rare. $200 rare? Maybe. Not in my book. I would say it a rare item, but not desirable. But if your going to sell something for that price, how about hitting it with some 409, some windex or something. It painted, so a coat of wax wouldn't hurt. I'd ask him if it leaks.

It came on some European cars, but it's not "super rare". I also don't see the point, I'd rather have a spare tire and fill up my gas tank when it gets low, as opposed to being stuck with a blown tire but extra gas.

[MR 325]

I believe it goes in the center of the spare tire actually.

Wow, so many cool parts in this thread. The only thing I have that may be considered rare would be my wood shift knob.

Correct. You get the spare tire and the gas (that's why it fits 15" and larger wheels).

But the downside, the gas can has to be stored horizontally to fit in the spare. This means that the container must be completely sealed so it doesn't leak. Liquid/vapor will change volume with temperature, unless it is in a sealed container, so in this case it will just increase the pressure. So basically, on a hot day you have an extremely flammable bomb in your trunk.

Cool idea, but i'd rather have the auxiliary gas tank:

^^^ I been keeping an eye on one for sale a auxiliary fuel tank. ^^^

Here is a pic of my Alpina extended fuel tank in my Alpina B6 3.5 clone. The Hartge and AC Schnitzer extended fuel tanks are vary rare to find.

e21 Recaros from a 320is. Picked them up at a PnP for $52! As you can see, though, they need some work.
