Steel crossram hood on Ebay

Hey Charley, is this the hood you sold to Jim at Heartbeat City? This is the one that came out of Canada right? I thought you said it had some rusty areas or bubbling on it. It's now suddenly mint condition! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=34204

According to Jim, it's not the same one he bought from Charley. Yesterday, this one was described as mint and $15k...ouch, ouch, ouch!

Think he kind of left himself open on this one but then also kept the back door open also.

Dont see a reserve anyplace but then if it doesnt get as high as he wants towards the end of the auction he can always say it sold at the shop!

<font color="red"> Remember this AUCTION COULD CLOSE AT ANY TIME AS THE ITEM IS ALSO on display in our store here in Michigan. </font>

I'm just reporting what Jim told me on the phone last night. I'd sure like to have a X-Ram hood and complete manifold, barburetor and air cleaner setup...but then I wouldn't be able to afford the car to bolt the stuff on to. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

$15K, ouch! I have a GM fiberglass crossram hood and I would want that more than a metal hood. The metal hood looks almost identical to the normal cowl hood with just a different shaped opening welded onto it.

I agree, a fiberglass hood should be worth more than a steel hood. I had a n.o.s glass hood on Ebay about 2 years ago and it only topped out at $3,400.
A person can ask whatever they want for a car or part,it doesn't mean it's the going price.

Hood was removed and relisted. Still no reserve set!!

Looks like he added the word Camaro in the listing!

What was the purpose of the steel x-ram hood?
In Trans-Am, fiberglass was allowed in 69 and they only allowed single carbs in 70. So why do these hoods exist? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Are you sure the glass hood was allowed in TA? I was looking at old pictures of a Penske 68 Camaro and it has a SS hood on it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
