Default Re: NOS RC15 big eared rad cap.

O'No your not alone, my wife found a ZL-1 starter under our bed, in a box. I had some explaining to do. I knew I had put that thing somewhere.

These parts are like these cars we love, Generational. As long as our generation loves these cars I guess we'll keep paying what ever we have to for the right parts. My first introduction into stupid money for old parts was about 4 years ago. I took a pair of original front spiral shocks off a 69 Z28 with 89K miles on it. Just before putting them in the trash can I thought, these are cooling looking shocks maybe somebody out there can rebuild them. I put them on eBay as a lark and they sold for 775.00. I gave the buyer every opportunity to back out of the deal by reminding him they have 89K miles on them and would not be safe to use. He told me he would have paid double that amount. I can't imagine what they would sell for today. I keep everything now. I guess that's why that starter was under my bed.
