Whoo, boy. Wonder at what price they'll finish. Impressive.

I dunno, I kinda find 2 unused '69 date coded spiral shocks somewhat impressive. I certainly don't get to see that everyday.

23 bids up to $995.00 with 8 day to go. I'll bet the last few minutes will be fun to watch.

Can someone tell me why a boxed set of replacement shocks would have assembly line stickers on them? I thought the "UN" stickers were for the line workers to know which part to grab off the shelf based on the "UN" code on the Chassis Broadcast Copy.

I've seen numerous NOS shocks in the boxes with the stickers on them. What you say makes sense, but maybe GM took shocks from production stock to put into parts inventory?

Until the '70s, the main GM parts warehouse was in the north end of the car/truck assembly complex in Oshawa. It was moved to Woodstock later. If the line ran short of parts, they would raid the warehouse to keep the line running. Just another little curve that might cause some date codes to be off a little.
