Any idea on what this kit is?

I could tell you exactly what it is, but I think the rude word filter may delete my post!

I remember putting a full set of these on my 1968 S 20 something years ago.
Since then, they've probably increased in value more than my pension.
I wonder how much this will go for? He has a full set too.
Probably not many more opportunities to get a set of these but it looks like you'd have to bid for each one.

Bid history is only from the past 30 days. Not everyone is bidding on things all the time... We'll see what happens in the next 17 minutes

Call me cynical but this looks like a '64 850 that's had a few recent hasty addiditions to make it look like a 1071 to me...
