Default Re: WIW (what's it worth) Corvette ZL-1 console emblem

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Charley Lillard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Bill Porterfield told me a funny story years ago. When he was in the thick of ZL1's he found that same ZL1 console emblem was still available from Chevrolet but there was a certain low # of them in the system total so he bought them all. The system then automatically saw they were out of product so it ordered another batch to be made. There are plenty of them out there. </div></div>

Ha, he triggered the safety stock reorder point, and diluted the value! The best intentions, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I think it was HAL9000 that ordered them, people knew they were cool and HAL ordered new ones all the time when the stock were low.
