Question of collectability

Post by Erich Reichert »

So in my recent travels i've come across about a half dozen white idler gears (stealth), a couple GT black tubs, and a couple GT FT blue tubs. Any one have any idea if they're worth getting and putting up for sale? Are these parts rare at all? Thanks.

I just found about a dozen white idler gears this weekend. I left them all. I don't see there being a market for them. But what do I know? :lol:

The GT tubs are still pretty easy to find, and still selling for less than sticker price. But, in a few years, I bet they will be going up in value a lot. If you can get them cheap it may be worth it to hang onto them for a while. As of now the black tubs usually bring a better price than the blue ones, but that may change with time too.

There are two versions of "white" Stealth idler gears. White and that kind of yellow translucent white like TC3 diff gears.
