Where do I start? Browsing Amazon, and I'm a Prime Member, just happen to find aluminum radiators...since my James Duff V8 conversion radiator just ain't hacking the cooling of my motor...

'97 to '04 Mishimoto Mustang rad for $25...SHIPPED!...And there was a SN95 radiator for the same price!

Expecting Amazon to not honor the price, and I would not have complained as it was an obvious mistake, I ordered both.....

Got the first one this week and have a tracking number for the other.....:icon_confused:

I've had a SEVERE overheating problem pushing 450HP and getting enough fan to push air past the radiator....So now I have a $25 radiator to work with...can you say Merry Christmas?:yahoo:

The SN95 is far to large, but the other one....:icon_idea:

If it ain't broke...fix it before it does.
Consider yourself pinched! Sweet deal!

25 bucks, and free two day shipping? Awesome!

I love Amazon Prime. I'm buying more and more there, and less and less on Ebay.

That is a great find. Post a photo of it. I could not find that radiator today when I was in Amozon Prime. Where did you find it?

I think they made a mistake. Also was a Mustang '79 manual for $75. All of them up to $225.00 or higher.

The surprising thing is that they did not notice the pricing mistake! It took them a week to send the second one and tracking shows it will be here wed.

I saw the normal prices on some of the raditors were sliced by a large amout. Did you notice the original price with the red slash through the price and the sale price? Is that what you bought? Good deal...that was a get rid of an item price!!

No slash through the original price. Knew it was a clerical error so I watched the price for a couple of days and no change except the available quantity so figured what the heck. The one for the '07-'04 Mustang was supposed to be for a standard transmission but they sent one for an auto. It's already here and the tracking number shows the other, SN 95 Mustang, is due to deliver tomorrow.:D

Now I've got to find a couple days to do the install. Major surgery getting a radiator in front of the radiator support and a Mark VIII fan where the radiator is now! Have to eliminate the hood latch so ordering these instead of plain ole hood pins...

It looks to me that the list prices are off by two decimal points....a clerical error.
Of course, a simple clerical error isn't a news story ;)

Well, I guess if the site has thousands of calls or emails from confused buyers it would be news worthy. I was wondering about it as well last week when I was buying some guitar equipment...some prices were slashed over 90% and some were overpriced by 50%....:icon_confused:
