I don't think so. I got mine from Murray, who had dragged a '73 in the same day. And that was the only one he had.

I was Facetious. Murray would never spend that amount of money. He buys whole cars for the cost of that tank.

Wasn't me, that's just crazy.
My interim solution supplied by Paul, clean up my old brittle bottle with a hole in the bottom and mount it. Never mind the lack of bug juice, washer hose or even washer nozzles, it looks not bad. Thanks to Dobalovr (Graham) I found the nozzles on a dealer shelf down in Fremont Nebraska and they are in the mail. Next I need Y splitter and 10 or so feet of 3/16" OD hose. Now I'm looking at hidey hole where I can stick a jug of bug juice.
FWIW, My 70 300 has this under the hood. Most likely this is from a 74-75 C Body. It was there when I got the car. It fits like it belongs there. One of these days, I'll either clean it up better or find a nicer one.
I'll bet that only the guys reading this thread would know this isn't "correct". At least it's a cheaper alternative.

Great solution, and the assembly is 3431 919, hi ho hi ho it's off to google I go!
FYI it changes upto 3431968 but no stock on dealers shelves
As it seems that no one here was bidding I will confess......I was in until it hit $225 USD and then my wife rolled into the room....bidding over Apparently we can buy a whole lot of Maitais on the cruise in 3 weeks for the price of a used 71 Washer Bottle
Who knew?

There's 3 different part numbers on the bottle. 3431917 for the assembly, 3431919 for the bottle and 3431920 for the cap.
There's one on ebay.

2x. - As the original '70-'73 item prices seem to be skyrocketing and going through the roof, I (just out of curiosity) ran an e-mail survey through a few local plastic can manufacturers. This is what they told me:
1) The original can is propably made of polyethylene (PE-HD), judging by the yellowing of the jug. It was most propably blow molded into a metal mold. A new mold would cost somewhere up from 5000 euros (roughly $5.5K). Less only, if you have your own CNC metal cutter to use.
2) All three companies recommended 3D-laserprinting in polyamide (PA 6 i.e. nylon). Initial cost would still be around 1...1.5K, but since the material cost would be minor issue, a small series (say 20 bottles) would drop the manufacturing price per jug to somewhere around 50 euros a piece. Plus manufacturer profit and taxes.
Now there's an offer on a relatively inexpensive 3D printer in a local hardware store...

Said this very thing at the beginning of the thread. This is the way to go, and I think the price point is right at $75-$100 USD, question is can you sell 20 of them? I'm beginning to think the eBay surge is speculation at this point. Are there really that many C body restorations out there where people want an OEM washer bottle?
Maybe. When I started searching for 70 Fury parts back in 1996, when eBay was just getting started, there were A and B body listings galore, but C body anything was darn scarce. I manged to find a lot of parts, many NOS and most under $50 to $75. Over the last 20 years the C body picture stayed fairly flat until about 2010 when all of a sudden the vendors started pumping out C-Body parts. For the first time there were C-body reproduction parts. The C-body world seemed to have caught the attention of all the vendors who had spent the last 15 years gouging the A, B and E body crowd. I guess it's our turn in the barrel!
Over the last 20 years the number of C-body restorations has certainly increased and general attitude of many C-body guys has changed. For years there were few, if any, restoration forums and anyone who considered the full rotisserie restoration of a C was looked upon as some kind of idiot with more money than brains. For years forums were full of threads based around "I found a mint C for $1,200" to be met with a chorus of "Way too much, only worth $150". The value of a C-body was pretty well what the A,B&E crowd would pay for the engine. Was a sad time.
The year 2016 brings many more C owners, many restorations and even more C-body participation at car shows. Parts, fenders, quarter panels, floor pans, etc are popping up on eBay and vendors shelves. All the A,B&E parts sellers who bought parts stock from belly up dealers have flogged all the "good stuff" and are now digging into C stuff and listing gems at outragious A,B&E prices. I was able to find windshield washer nozzles on a dusty dealer's shelf for $8 and I see Hiltop Auto Parts sells them for $50/pr in his primarily A,B&E store. Fun part, the dealer sent my $8 set, the right nozzle was correct but the left was miss labeled. So I looked up the strange nozzle and it's for a '69 A-Body and sells for $120/pr.
It's been a ride, but we're just about to hit the big time. Maybe time to start buying all the crappy thrown together A,B&E restorations and get our engines back!

i think there are a fair amount of us on here that would buy one at that price. I would absolutely. hell, i bid way more than that on the last one on eBay. in retrospect, glad the other guy wanted it as bad as he did, i got into the high $200 before i gave up.
