I think Charley said that the good stuff had been already picked through? (I could be wrong)

Yeah, but what I saw in those pictures was still pretty good. There were several Chevy aluminum bell housings that went for around $30. Complete ZL1 for $10,000. 4 Camaro fenders that looked rust free for $350.

For regular parts, there were some real deals.
The wheels are confusing - lots of sets for $800/set. Did the guy think he bought them all for $800?

Buying a ZL1 motor fully asembled and not being able to see bore/damage/condition/cement filled etc etc etc with all the numbers and castings removed isnt a chance most people would take for 10K

Ya seen that on the ZL-1 engine. Just a bit high to start. Think it would have got some action starting say a 6000 and let people get bidding and hot for it.

I was looking at the 396/375Hp engine???? No chrome valve covers I can see, but Qjet??? And no 163 alum. intake??? That doesn't look right to me.

Umm, is this even real!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok when I looked, I changed the sort by to "PRICE: high to low"

Now look at how many RIMS were sold for 800.00????? Something fishy that all these sold at 800.00 per lot!!

Look at lot 1059? 1 shitty rim for 800.00
look at lot 1058 2 rims for 800.00 or lot 1054??? 2 ugly ass alum rims for 800.00

No maybe someone bought ALL the rims as 1 lot for 800.00, but I can't see that either?

Something just doesn't add up.
