Is anyone still thinking of paying these prices in the current economy?? Considering it is covered by the shielding anyway I don't get it. Pilot Dan

it proves the old saying..." there is a seat for every *** and an *** for every seat"......and i guess if you paid that much, the 9.95 shipping cost would not bother you either.....

Uh........no.

That cap has been on Ebay for a year so it seems that no one will pay that price. I was looking for the same cap and found one for 175 that was mint so they are out there.

Your right... about being

I still have 4 left and mine are those with the copper contacts...his wont sell as there were a few last year for around the $500.00 figure...I also have one of the Holley brand and its like his, no copper contacts...hell the 'Holley box is worth something to collectors with more money than brains....

I'm only 3 or 4 Lotteries away from spending money like that.

For that price he can't throw in free shipping?

We should all put it on our "watch list"

Can you imagine how excited he'd be to see so many people watching it??

Until it sells it's simply an asking price from an optimistic seller.

On the other hand, if someone with the means to hire a no-expenses-spared shop to restore their corvette, the shop can simply buy the cap for the stated price and pass on the costs as part of the restoration.

Either way, asking prices are just asking prices, they aren't sales prices.

Who needs to collect cars when the action is in rare OEM parts? Cheap insurance and NO garaging hassle!

It would RUIN the value of that fine piece to scuff its towers with plebian rubber plug wire ends! And even a '67 L-88 should be considered a mere pedestal (minus shielding and wires) to display this paragon of mid-century American mass-produced craftsmanship!

To the original question, yes, there are plenty of people that can spend that kind of money in this economy. Nobody in this thread it would seem. I saw an interview with a 30-something hedge fund manager showing his home and car collection. An arrogant @ss but mega-wealthy. He doesn't give a cr@p if something is reasonably priced if he wants it.

It was only a few months ago right here that a fella paid $10,000 for the original documentation for his big block C2 to some guy that turned up with it.

All he needs is one guppy to take the bait.

uh.....no and no to 175 also, sometimes you just gotta say no to the being correct bull and say enough is enough, beside it was original only once and a correct cap still makes it non-original

Would it be wrong if I were the top bidder..??..

ONLY if you lowered a SB on your head, instead of the engine compartment.....
