The stamp that is still visible is a 40 cent Lillian M. Gilbreth, issued in 1984:

I figured this catalog has to be close to 30 years old.  Got a lot of cool original parts for sale that you want dare see in a catalog today. Just neat reading.  Thanks for the info.
Yes, it's a neat catalog. Information was a lot harder to find in those days, you had to write or call or talk to people in person. So much easier now online. On the other hand, there were a lot more untouched cars in salvage yards to get parts from or study.

And also, my friend's address on the back, I know he hasn't lived there in over 25 years.

Sounds like your friend got out when the getting was good!  Not knocking Atlanta--my older sister lives there and loves it--but it sure ain't for me!  I try to avoid Hot-Lanta as much as possible, especially the inside the perimeter area where that 404 area code covers now.   ;D
Too much junk, too little time.

I thought their name was familiar...and I found it in the Mustang Time archives.  They first appeared in October 1984, and their last ad was in August 1985.
