$ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
Check out Ebay item# 4596006893, date stamped repro spiral shocks. The Ebay ad never says original and when I emailed them they said they were dated new spirals. Misleading to say the least. Someone is in for an expensive lesson.

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
that 140 speedo was a repo just like the shocks, i emailed them and asked specifically and they said, any dates on the shocks you want and the speedo was rescreened from a yenko. Someone got burned!!

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
I agree the auction should have said repros, and shame on the buyer for not asking before bidding big $$'s for repro shocks. Isn't the Seller Bob Harris @ Camaro Specialties in NY?

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
How was the auction misleading? They were not advertised as original 1969 shocks. Date codes are commonly placed on many restoration items (stickers, decals, chalk marks or stamps). It is commonly done for glass for collectable cars. If you need to replace the glass in your supercar or 57 Chevy show car are you going to the local shop for a new replacement window or will you go to a specialty supplier to get the glass with a correct date code?

The price and wording is to make one think they are NOS. The price alone makes one think the price Nos shocks would sell. Anyone can buy number stamps at the hardware store. Roger

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
It is real simple.. Does the buyer know he bought repo or does he think he bought orig ? My read of the auction made me think they were orig.

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
In this day and age question everything more times than once. I have dealt with Bob and his guys for years. NEVER a problem. But.....I asked and badgered on everything before I bought. To me everything is questionable to proven else wise. Do your homework!
