Camaro Takes 1st Place on Ebay....

[Michael H.]

I think the Corvette people have been out classed. These Camaro guys know how to bid on ebay. I always thought Corvette was the top of the field but now I'm not sure.

Nah, Camaro guys have had us beat for a few years.
Any part of the hobby that pays $3500 for NOS door sills is absolutely nuts.

Then again, $3500 for a 1969 Corvette tripower/M40 emissions solenoid and bracket don't exactly seem "reasonable."

Having owned a 69Z X77 and now my 69 X-22 396, not surprised. The JL-8 brakes will turn an avg. 69Z Camaro into a 100K plus ride. Last years B-Jackson 2005 results. After all it's all about the money these days or so it seems.

Old-Stock "Corvette" disc brake pads ...

...new, in the old box (probably asbestos composition) Gr.5.017 #5452513, used to pull about $40-60. Not any more -- they're now described as "JL8" pads, and fetch over $200.

Glad to hear about the JL-8. My girlfriend just had that package added to her 69 Z28 which is in the final stages of a full restoration. While not interested in selling - it helps knowing that it added some value.
