Hooker headers for $140 ?
I went to the neighborhood autoparts store (Aarons) here in Portland to pick up a Vacuum meter. While there, I asked a "Hey, you sell headers for SBC Corvettes?" the counter guys said "What brand you want?" I reply "Hooker Headers." He says "Yep, we've got em." I quickly retort "How much?" he promply replies "Hooker headers for $142.00."
I was thinking Huh? Everywhere I've read they are around $300. They're not chrome (which is fine by me as I don't want them chromed anyway) and they are full bore, long tube.
WOW...140 bones? Is this guy for real or am I still living in 1985?
