And only $9,999 plus postage and the minimum $1 "handling fee".

You just can't make up this stuff this good.

Used 069/093 4 bbl intake for $23K (Japan)

This guy trumps the F.I. distrib, Jerry. He has some pretty pricey stuff. Click on link below. When he first posted this item, several incredulous eBayers asked if he had made a mistake; he replied that it was one of only 20 ever made. Somebody must have clued him in about Over-the-Counter, 'cause he's eliminated the questions to seller.

WOW!...the sun faded the printing on the box of the one I have sitting on the shelf. Talk about a Trailer Queen. Once out of the box, it will be like all the others. Only on ebay do you find these 'real deals'.

Jerry, that's excellent. I just sent the seller a comment. (below) No reply, yet.

"At first, I thought this was pretty funny but then I realized, you're actually serious. You really actually think this thing is worth ten grand. The link to your ad is posted on one of the Corvette forums and everyone is getting a pretty good giggle out of it. Regards, Michael"

Maybe it's from Gus Grissom"s garage *NM*

Re: "This is the only one in the universe!!!"

I offered $350.00 for it, just for kicks. With the Buy It Now feature you can now make an offer and they have a chance to decline or accept. Nice irritation factor for submitting low ball offers to rediculous "Buy It Now" prices. I noticed the seller is "AuctionSteward" maybe it is one of those Ebay auction services where they handle selling the item for you. Obviously dreaming. No one is stupid enough to pay anywhere close to what they are asking.

"No one is stupid enough to pay anywhere close to what they are asking."

Never, NEVER say that.
You and I both know that there are far too many people who are stupid enough to pay exactly what he's asking.

I like the R on the cap.

Re: "This is the only one in the universe!!!"

Patrick,

If someone is, I also have one that has never been installed and would definitely let it go for $9,000. ; )

George,

I'm sure we can find him.
Just watch the auction and see what names pop up.

If someone will pay $3500 for Camaro sill plates, then $9000 for a 65 FI distributor seems entirely reasonable to me.

If you watched Barf-Jaxon in January, you saw people with too much disposable cash. They would pay whatever it took to win.

He calls that a "box" ? *NM*
