Looking thru some completed listings on e bay i saw $1500 for 2 original gm spiral shocks and another for a AC radiator cap for $500 . Geez.. back in the 70's working as a mechanic i thru away millions of dollars worth of old parts - if i only knew then what i know now! .. oh well
these # matching guys are nuts:drunk:

yup.. I'm shocked(pun) that Monroe or someone has not retooled and made these old type shocks.. just goes to prove that the # matching cars are never used, just cross the auction block.. as 40y/o shocks the seals are shot..

just an FYI last year someone paid 450.oo for a n.o.s. Camaro '67 exhaust hanger.. a single hanger these people are beyond nuts..

they are worth so much because dopes are stupid enough to pay crazy prices for them.. nothing more.. and most of the parts are repop's in a repopped factory box.. and part stamping/numbers.. and or 2nd's/b stock that wouldn't be used when the cars were some what new.. they'd be return to the dealer for another..
