It's a bolt...but is it considered a stovebolt???
Also, just an observation...when I bought my "bolt" it came with all the bolts and the sheetmetal and all the other parts for less then the asking price of this one bolt. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 187 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 187 | $900 for 3 bolts :confused: :confused: :confused:
Sorry...but that seems ridiculous to me... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 332 Big Bolt Shop Curmudgeon | | Big Bolt Shop Curmudgeon Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 332 | Was that the "Buy it Now!" price?

The only unique thing is the nut. If they are worth that why isn't someone fabricating them? If it is what is appears I could fabricate one in a few minutes.
Can someone explain this? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | exactly, Cletis - can you ever explain stupidity - or ebay for that matter  :confused: Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | That's ridiculous.  -W | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 | There is a repo bolt that works the same but doesn't have quite the same nut that sells for $10 but this is the real thing. This is how you build a $100,000 plus restoration.

You could not rate him high enough!" What else would you say about someone foolish enough to fork out $900 for a bolt, washer and nut! Don't look now, but the same bidder forked out big money for another priceless bolt from the same seller! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 | These two bolts emphasize two maxims about the human race:
1) There is a sucker born every minute.
2) Some people have a lot more money than common sense.
Remember the $15K reserve NOS intake and carbs for the same car??? They actually bid to almost $16K and the buyer DID NOT sell!!!
How stupid are people these days, anyway???

For show points you would need this bolt. If you have that much to spend on a car it don't matter does it? Compared to the bolt those carbs were a good deal.

| | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 | A guy is restoring a stinkin' CAMARO, not a Duesenberg, an Auburn, a '30's Caddy or Chrysler, or something truly unique and rare with coachbuilt bodywork and such. There are only a handful of parts that differentiate a regular Camaro from a COPO, and I surely don't see how a shifter bolt or a suspension bolt is COPO-unique to spend incredibly stupid money on it. The buyer had a lobotomy, and the seller should be arrested for taking advantaged of a retarded person.
Hell, for that, I must have about a million and a hlf dollars worth of fasteners and bolts in the shop!!! People will be disassembling rare cars for their fasteners and sell them on uBay, quSay, eBay, and all the other "-ey" auctions! What nonsense.

I once sold a STOCK Rottenchester Carb that I got off a 4 door Cutlass on Ebay.. I got $675.00 for it.... the part number just happened to be one that was used on Hurst Olds and/or W-30 442's.
Another quality post.

I will be able to buy my little island in the Caribbean and retire very nicely. One million dollars is all I'm asking for my five-gallon bucket of rare, priceless fasteners. Shipping is extra, of course, as is insurance. Having the finest restored whatever doesn't come cheap, after all, so send me your money right now, before someone gets a leg up on you for the "big shew"!
I also have factory air available for only USD $250,000 in pint cans, certified to be genuine from the factory where YOUR car came from! Fill those precious, overpriced NOS tires with genuine, overpriced NOS air straight from the factory!
