considering a ZL-1 Camaro is a 1 million dollar car these days does $10K for the correct carb really sound like a lot of money??

PS: also consider the SECOND high bidder is the guy who paid $900 for ONE shifter bolt!!

Thank you, supergenius. It's one dollar. 1/9999 of the total price. Auction is over. Go do your homework.

Well there you have it he couldnt force himself to pay 10k for the carb because that would be too much. Now he got a real nice deal at 9999.99.

Im in the wrong business

The COPO system could be used to order just about anything if you knew what to ask for. That's how people like Yenko got their wild hi-po stuff. It's for a ZL-1, anyway, not an L88.

Kid, I thought I told you to go away and do your homeowork.

$10k for a correct carb for a $1M car isn't that bad...I bet any one of us would pay it if we needed that carb to complete a factory perfect restoration of that $1M car...
