All steel, no fiber.

Nice to haveΓÇÖs:
Lifted (2.5-3.5)
Cut or uncut. I can go either way.

I think this one is worth checking out and I'm certain it could be had for a lower price.

Agreed. I've sent three emails at different days/times and the all got returned. Seems to be happening a lot on CL.
Also no phone number.

I would suggest staying with 1975 and older if you live in an emissions testing area.

The collector plates have a lot of restrictions on the newer ones that do not apply to '75 and earlier.
