Another One Bites the Dust

[BeaterGT500]

I found an Interstate battery distribution center that sells perfectly good "Blemished" batteries for about $50.  Use them in my daily drivers and my Meyers Manx which gets stored all winter (here in WA that's about 7 months).
Easy to rattle can the green top black, and good to go.

I just bought 2 batteries from Costco(Interstate). A 24F for my GT350 and a 27F for my SCJ Mach1. My last Costco battery which is just old in the Shelby has a 9 09 date on it. Time will tell if it was the right choice. A friend paid around 50 bucks for one from Rural King(Excide rebranded) for his 71 Boss 351.

Was your batteries AGM batteries?  How about the Rural King?

At Rural King I waited 30 minutes while the guy tried to find 1 of 2 Group 27 batteries he had in stock. Never found them. First time in Rural king. Only one I know about here in MI and it is right on my way home from work. They were not AGM batteries I bought for either car(group 24 for Shelby and group 27 for Mach1). Looking at Costco's site their batteries went up a LOT in the last couple of months. I paid 84 and 92 for my batteries. Rural King would have been much less but I didn't find out about the store(its 25 miles at least from my house) until a friend told me he paid 50-60 bucks for his battery for his Boss 351 and I had already bought my 24 for my Shelby.
