NOS RC15 AC Delco Radiator Cap...for $500.00!?!???!!

WOW :eek2:

I can maybe try to understand the radiator cap thing. At least people will see that everytime you open the hood.....

But $320 WHEEL BEARINGS???? ou: ou:
Geeze.... I wish I had some NOS wheel bearing grease to sell him.
Ya know... it's got to smell correct when they inspect the wheel bearings at the car shows....
:moonu:

 

Iwonder how much he might pay for a pair of NOS cotter pins? :laugh:

 

Absolute sheer insanity. uzzled:

Funny thing is 30 years ago you wouldn't think twice about hurling one of those in the garbage.

The cotter pin comment was funny. :laugh: It's probably not as far off as you think. :error:

 

:eek2: no comment :shock: :rant:


:jd: :jd: :jd: :jd: :jd: :jd: :jd:



:shock: unbelievable :shock:



uzzled: stupid money uzzled:

 

Saw one last year early for one of our 455 GS cars bring $300 on Ebay!!! NOS item too. I fell out then, but this $500 price is even more radical. Who would have thought?

 

What????

Wait that's not all folks....check out the rest of this guys bidding he just bought a motorcycle for over 10K last month and guess what?? He bought another radiator cap for over $500.00 bucks !!:jd: :jd: He must have JACK to burn !!

Here are a few more examples of this same cap

I've found, with a VERY different price....makes you wonder a bit, huh?

One

Other completed auctions

Someone please tell me why the other two caps hauled in the same amount of money and these are all relatively close in price. Keep in mind, some of these are used as well.

Also, the second hyperlink is of completed auctions. You might have to be registered with eBay to view them.

 

I may have to throw my hat in the ring..

This just came today from a dealership out in Santa Rosa, CA. The box is obviously a "later" one but it's still the same deal as we've seen earlier in this thread....

Heck, this one item could fund a good portion of my restoration!!! :Brow: :Brow: Just kidding...well, maybe not...

I think I'll wait a little while before offering the bait to those independantly wealthy Corvette and Cheby guys...:grin:

 

Re: I may have to throw my hat in the ring..

Brett....look real close at your cap and the NOS one. There is a major difference.

 

Korrie,

GOOD CATCH!!

Well then, I guess I won't be funding my resto any time soon, huh?

Thanks! :TU:

 

Is it possible that in over 11 hours, we could be seeing MORE insanity?!? ou: o No: uzzled:

 

I've got one of those in the box. RC 15 #861050. The center Rivit looks different, mine looks black. Does anybody know how to date code one of these?

I'll never ever pay anything near that kind of money for anything for my car. Bought it for two grand and now it's got a new 8$ dash, and today two pieces of weatherstripping for another 7$.

That is just insane!

 

WTF?????:blast:

It's a radiator cap man! BUT, I guess some people have the cash!

 

Did you see this one?
$712.50 for window crank handles

got a few of these myself. new in the box from past work. deals. anyways i am going to save this and show my friend that does ebaying for me. he will flipou: :Comp: :TU:

 

am i wrong but these are not that special. and all someone did was put a corvette name in front of it right. a cap is a cap from those years

 

$546.05!! A few bucks better than the other one.....ou:

 

How much would it cost to replate and refurbish a used one? Must be the cardboard boxes that are worth the dough?

 

Did anyone notice what other items they bought besides the Radiator cap? How about a $440.00 fuel pump or even better ( worse? ) $712.00 ( yes, SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWELVE DOLLARS )for 2 window cranks. not regulators, but the little chrome and plastic pieces we grab to roll the windows up/down. THAT is fanaticism. Kevin
