Default Most expensive part

What is the most expensive part you've ever seen ? How about $560 for 1 seat belt. :rolleyes:

Sometimes it is ridiculous what people pay for stuff... A 69 BB with A/C has a long dipstick not reproduced and was only available on the original but not serviced. One of those sold for $502!!!!

Watch what some NOS parking brake handles do on ebay. I talking about the original late C2/early C3 models with the knurled plastic grips. If they're new, or like new the do moon shots.

Better yet........go find the exterior corner trim pieces for the rear windows of a 1963 'vette. Plan on remortgaging your house if you need them.

If they're worth that much and if I was in the manufacturing business, I'd make the best darn reproduction of these itms anyone has ever seen.

Last time I heard of someone finding a rear hatch glass for a 82 CE, they paid over $1,500.00 out of a junkyard. :mad
