Interesting door handles

At $650 for chrome.....the rest of the car would have to be like the Ring Bros. with lots of bling.....in my old man opinion...lol

Saw those on Gearz... didn't know they were so expensive WOW. Not for this one either.

I couldn't afford $650 for DOOR HANDLES... when I could buy disc brakes or interior pieces. But who knows... maybe if I'm really nice (or would that be naughty? :confu) "Santa" will get me these for Christmas.

They look cool and all, but not $600 worth of cool.

+1 I thought the same thing when I looked at them...WOW, pretty darn cool. THEN I saw the price. OUCH!! And I thought the price for stock NOS handles was on the ridiculous side...HA!
 
I really like those. My buddy has a 52 facel vega. Very similar stock door handles on that thing. I've even mentioned to him about copying them some time. I surely wouldn't pay the 650.

I saw that episode, neat handles but IIRC, there was some cutting + welding needed to install them on Stacey's '67 Cougar.

Yeah. I kinda like them, but kinda iffy also.

Those handles look like something a junior in shop class came up with. At least that's what I thought when I saw Stacy welding them in the door.

Not a fan at all.
 
I would like flush handles but not that design. Plus, at that price, I think I can get my son Steven to mill me something!
 
These are the first flush handles I have seen that I like on a classic. The reasoning Stacey gives in the video is exactly why. I may have bought them had I known about them prior to paint.

It may seem like a lot of cash but someone has to pay for the development on new parts. There are many of you who didn't blink at similar cost for a plastic headliner which, after all the development and mold costs, is very inexpensive to make as well. Parts like these are bought by only a very small percentage of classic owners. It takes a long time to sell enough units to cover the costs before someone starts to make any profit. Being innovative and unique has it's price!

I couldn't agree more. It takes a long time to recoup all of your tooling cost before you see a profit, and the more products you make the longer it is.
 
I would agree with Rich, agreeing with Terry. I still wouldn't like the style of handle even if it $20.
 
Might look ok on a heavily moded car but I've been going for a somewhat stock look on mine so not for me.

@ $650 though seems like a huge rip off to me, I can find a lot of other things to spend $650 on that would help the car perform better.
 
Before i spent that kind of money, i think i would go with the old lincoln pushbutton handles. they would add a streamlined appearance & look like more of a period addition. lot less $$$ too.
