I kind of feel like an idiot...
..for even bidding $100 for this. So now, essentially, I'm going to have 2 brand new knobs for my windshield wiper, headlights, and I'm sure they'll eventually reproduce the radio knobs as they're easy to do, and a sh*tty looking lighter.
Still, it was hard to justify bidding that high. Oh well. I hate smoking anyway.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250403338758

Well, at least you did not bid 10K for an original steel ram-air hood!

The heat of the moment got you. Sometimes happens when bidding. Don't ask how I know this and don't tell my wife

Haha.
Well, I did simply think "well, the rest of the dash is going to look good, I might as well spend the money on it", but once it hit $100, I wasn't willing to go any higher.

IMHO
The problem is E-bay sometimes makes it too easy to get instant gratification on desired parts. I'd try to find it somewhere else.

Well, if you can tell me where to find a NOS '68 only lighter, please do so. I certainly haven't had any luck. I'll find one some day.

Try my buddy Paul at ROS in CT
ros6872@hotmail.com 203-272-7103 after 6 e.s.t. I've bought tons of parts from him. He's honest and dependable and knows his parts.
