Certainly a unique item.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Price seems a bit steep.
What do you guys think about the price?

It's one of those things you will probably never see again. So if you feel you want to have it the price really doesn't matter.

Like Vern said, when are you going to see another one?  Over the long term, the cost will seem miniscule compared to some other things you have bought or had to spend money on for the car.  You could always take a chance that no one bids on it, then email afterwards and make him an offer.

As rare as that is, I think it's a buy Norm. I know it's a lot for a matchbook, but when will you find another one?

My sister found mine at an antique shop. Cool thing about it is it was printed at the same factory my dad worked at- he was head pressman and always did the car matchbooks so I suspect this was his handiwork.

you can use an new book of matches to replace the matches in the old matchbook.  The most difficult thing is that you'll likely also need to use the staple from the new set of donor matches, as the staple is much smaller than in a common stapler.  Use a small jewellers screwdriver and open the staple and pull it out.   Make the transplant and re-use the staple in the 65 matchbook.  I did this on a 70 Pontiac matchbook I got on ebay - my wife watched me do it at on the kitchen table, she thought I was nuts.

Ok, I thought I was the only guy to do crazy little stuff.....

Love that thinking1 That is excellent. I love all the little GM trinkets like that from the past.
