I also agree that the guy who spent $900 on a bolt shouldnt be mocked but rather envied. How many of you can spend $900 on a bolt? I hope to some day have sTuPiD money so that i can light my cigars with $100 bills and pass out money to strangers who amuse me .... call it stupid if you want but you cant take it with you so why not spend it if you got it? |

I hope that bolt was at least in original GM packaging.It`s one thing to pay alot for something you can lay your hands on,another to buy,basically,sight unseen.It wasn`t that long ago people were leary of mail-order.Until companies like LLBean came along with better than "in store" customer service and support.Where would Ebay have been back then?

Nope, it was just a picture of a shifter bolt. No packaging. BTW, the same seller and buyer got together on another "rare" fastener (same COPO Camaro) for $285.00. Wow.
I wonder if the buyer had to cough up extra for shipping??? Makes you think about going out to the shop and completely disassembling a perfectly good $20K original (or even a restored!) car and selling the "rare fasteners" off the *#^%$! thing.

That might be the most expensive steering wheel I've ever seen. I don't think I could force myself to pay that much. More power to the seller and the numbers matching person who just has to have it! Now on that note, anyone want to buy my NOS right fender for a 70-72 442/Cutlass for $2000, LOL?

I know all about date-codings on everything from alternators to blocks to damn near everything else on a car or truck. Listen carefully - to spend that kind of money on a bolt that absolutely NO ONE will ever see, much less check at a car show or even a concours, is nuts.
I'm all for capitalism, trust me. That's why I'll be selling my two large containers of extremely rare automotive fasteners on the 'bay in the near future. Bids will start at one million dollars. Buyer pays shipping and insurance. ![]()

Like patrick66 said(I already did)The bolt won`t be seen.Besides,if it`s authentic COPO,why does it need a shifter bolt?Guess the original could have sheered(doubt it)if the trans was bound up.I can see spending big for the correct excellant steering wheel,though.And I do know alot about judged restorations,Harley where every nut`n`bolt does show.
