What is interesting is that they're 192 degree T-stats, which is the Clevelands preferred operating temperature, at least according to Ford. Those you are NOT likely to find at your local parts store.

Yeah.  I just email him and let him know that he might not get rich on those items.  LOL ;-))

Can you not just walk into NAPA or Oreillys and buy a thermostat for a
351c???? for like 8 bucks?

You are exactly right.   You need to double-check to make sure the parts
counter monkey doesn't try to slip you a 351W unit by mistake.   But
ordinarily you should have ZERO problems getting a 'regular' 351C thermostat at
any parts store in the USA.

The Robertshaw thermostats were always reckoned to be 'better'.   When they
were still being made, they sold for $20-25 each rather than the $8-10 of
the standard type.   Most people felt it was a good investment, as they will
last the lifetime of the engine.

But this auction is just ridiculous, playing up on internet forum hysteria
I think....
