1967 z/28 PARTS WANTED

[Jonesy]

Congrats Charlie, I almost pooped my pants when I bid on it at over $1000. Like I said, you win some you lose some. I doubt the guy that bought it needs it. He has been hoarding 67-69 Z/28 parts and has been paying crazy money for almost everything he bids on. He has bought his fair share of loose 69 z/28 cowl tags. It seems no matter what that guy outbids everyone. Sometimes that can work against you by entering a real high bid like this guy does. Who knows how high he bid, but I think it was thousands above what he got it for.

Anyways, this thread really got high jacked. All I was doing was looking for parts for my car.

It was in the wrong section anyway, looks like I need to start a new wanted ad.

Jeff, all the fans I see in that pic look like the common 3 inch bolt pattern.

Whats the sense in placing an ad if someone responds to your ad and then gets a part identified, then doesnt offer it to you and places it on ebay for the part collectors.

"Whats the sense in placing an ad if someone responds to your ad and then gets a part identified, then doesnt offer it to you and places it on ebay for the part collectors."

If you had offered more in the first place you probably would have owned it and it never would have hit Ebay. You offered 250.00 but bid over 1000.00 on Ebay ? I don't blame you for wanting to save on a purchase but if there is something I really need I have the best luck when I offer what I am willing to pay.

[Mr70]

I can sympathize with your situation Jonesy,but Charley makes a valid point.
After you said this,.."They are worth what I'm willing to pay and what you will take"...You then place 4 seperate bids,each within the final minutes of the auction starting from $866.00 up to $1076.00.
All this after Charley told you he hears $4-600 is the norm.


And your first initial offer to him was only $250.00.

[Pacecarjeff]

Really - why would you only offer $250, if your were willing to pay $1000. I am sure Charlie would have let it go for $500 or less early on. Now seems like a absolute steal.
I had no clue that there was a difference - after all that, I only had 1 with the correct spacing, putting it away for my next car when/if get it.

Now, if you are still looking - I do have some of the correct balancers.


Don't lowball me though, these I am familar with.

[Jonesy]

Charlie never once offered the part to me and ignored all of my PM's. Charlie, did you ever get my PM's??The $250 was a starting point, as I didnt know where Charlie was at. Should I have to price his stuff?? Tell me what you want for it. I never said it was all I would offer. I do remember saying in my PM something about $250 and leaving it open ended with lets make a deal. This is before it ever went on ebay. He was the one who responded to the ad. I thought we could make a deal but it's pretty tough to do that when you get ignored. The next thing I know it's up for sale on ebay.

I did say it's worth what I am willing to pay and what Charlie is willing to sell it for. Its just a shame that we couldnt make a deal.

Believe me Jeff, I am willing to pay a fair price for things, all people need to do is give me a price. I already have a balancer.


Everyone have a nice day

I'm looking for the clutch that goes to the fan and a dist though for a friend here with a 67 Z

[Zedder]

Good luck on the distributor HawaiianCamaro...That is the absolute hardest part to find for a '67 Z!

Plum it was a pleasure meeting you and seeing that L78 of yours at Carlisle this year. Are you going to have it done for next years show? I would love to see it when it's finished...awesome car! Dave Bates

[plumL78]

Dave it was nice metting you too and thanks for asking about the car I don't think I'll make it next year but that was the orig. plan. Ricks Camaro is most likley going to have another crossram class and he asked me where was my crossram car because he wanted it over at his tent with the others. So I said I'd bring it next year. Right now I'm having to lots of fun with 67. Its great having a car thats not finished and you don't have to worry about getting any scratches or marks on it. Now don't get me wrong I wish it was finished. I threw a bumble bee stripe on it couple weeks ago and put in some orig BB front springs to get the ride height correct. I also just found an orig rear housing coded QF 0502 410 posi with metallic brakes and thats what it came with from the factory. So it will continue to be a work in progress. Just yesterday I spoke to the guy I got it from and he wants to see some pictures. I'm also sending some to the orig owner and he hasen't seen the car in 36 years. Thanks Kerry

[Charley Lillard]

Jonsey...I got your PM's. You offered 250.00. You do not have to price my stuff for me. I would have sold you the fan if you had offered me what I thought was a fair price but it appeared to me like a low offer. I don't need to tell you what I want for it. You were the one asking for one so I dug around and found one. You should have just offered me what apparently they have been selling for and you wouldn't have been getting mad because I chose to put it on Ebay. Why should I get into a private negotiation with you when there are multiple people wanting it and you try to get it at less than market ? I'm not actively buying parts on Ebay and tracking what they are selling for and I don't want to so I'm not going to spend a bunch of time researching prices in order to give you a price. If you thought 250.00 was a fair price, you made what you thought was the right offer but things just didn't work out and I'm sorry. I'm sure you will be able to find one for less than this one sold for because a few are sure to pop up on Ebay because of this sale.
