For 1200 bucks you would think it would be a little cleaner than that.

 In my opinion....These sellers are slowly taking the hobby away from the average working class people who are unable to pay the ultra high prices. I understand supply and demand but it's getting harder to pay for the parts than find'em !

I think when I sell my car I will dissemble it and sell part by part.  Hope I break even.

Even the headlight squirter is busted :(  I would be rebuilding wiper motors all day long if I could get that kinda coin!

You see it all the time over on the Yenko site. Someone selling a part at a decent price and one of these guys jumping in buying it and the next thing you know it's on E-Bay at three time what he paid. It's kind of disheartening.

I'm either going to remove the RS wiper motor and lock it in the safe while my wife drives it, lol, or I'm going to chain the hood shut.

If the part came on your (Z28, ZL1, COPO, X11, etc),  you'd better lock them all up..  because any parts that came on cars with those buzz words (whether it's a std part or not), sellers today ask a fortune...  As the captain said, many cars today are worth more (IF you can get those astronomical prices) in PARTs than as a whole...

I think that's pretty much how it goes with anything that gets expensive and overpriced.
Funny, my wife asked me a few months ago if I would chain the hood shut when she starts driving it.  She's already getting protective over it.  I've done that in the past on other cars when driving them to week long events and 1,000 mile road trips where it gets parked over night.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but electric fencers work if your car sits on grass...

HAHAHA, now that's funny.   Wouldn't it be hilarious to rig the car to shock people when they touch it?  Then stand near by and film it.   I think you just put a whole new twist on car security Dale  ;D

I'm lucky my wife is a car girl, wants to drive classics, watches them like a hawk, and knows the value in them.  I know it's in good hands.  Besides, I wouldn't mess with her anyway, she's a black belt in Shotokan and also packs heat, haha.

I stuck one on eBay myself just to see if it would fly - I had been working on this one for a good while when this thread popped up. It'll be interesting to see if gets a nibble compared to the one in Canada, or even NOS motors from HBC. If it doesn't sell, it will get used, for sure.

I'm not trying to retire on it, but an NOS motor fitted with an original end frame, an NOS washer pump and repro headlight washer assm. (used original coil), might be pretty hard to produce at my price. Agree or disagree, comments are always encouraged -

Regards,
Steve

I used to work with a guy that had a GTO. He had an alarm system on it. And a coil. He had a rod he pushed into the ground (from inside the car!).
When the alarm went off, the coil charged the whole surface of the car.
He said when it went off once, a guy was trying to help - Hey, I keep getting shocked!!

Looks great, z28z11! When I get time, I'm going to tear mine down and repaint or powdercoat. I haven't been inside the gearbox, but since it runs a bit sluggish it probably needs some lube. Good luck on ebay, someone will probably pick it up.
