    only $230 ? that is a deal compared to my 57 Bird "Group 32 Ford Power
    Punch" repro sealed battery from Antique was $250 plus shipping....but it
    looks great and works and does not leak, the price ya have to pay for lack
    of competition and low volume. Bill, motown

    I called NPD,VA classic and Antique Batteries today nobody has the drycell
    Autolite batteries in 24 or 27 group. As stated before New Castle(drycell
    manufacturer) is now defunct and the purchasing company doesn't know if they
    will produce anymore. 2 vendors listed above said they couldn't get the
    batteries but Antique Batteries said for a whopping $230 plus shipping that
    they would order the battery.Hope this helps.Olaf

    They have a sealed version of the group 24 Battery. I do not know if
    they have the group 27 type in sealed yet. If I remember correctly,
    Virginia Mustang had the best price on the batterys.

    I guess if you have to have it price is no object but my real problem with them was ; they didn't have any in stock and guessed at a 3 week backorder. They wouldn't say if it was a New Castle battery or not. Olaf
