The old mood ring. Reminds me of this "Dear Abby" letter.

Dear Abby:

My husband is tired of my mood swings, so he gave me a mood ring. When I am in a good mood, it is green. When I am in a bad mood, it leaves a big red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time the cheapskate will buy a diamond ring.

Bitchy in Boston.

what is the difference between a repro and original spiral shock?

The repo shocks I have seen dont have dates. The dates on the shocks in the auction look like they were stamped as the font just doesnt look right to me.

Besides that,I've yet to see a new repro set fullfil it's duties beyond a few 100 miles of normal street useage.
They were recently re-manufactured for their appearance for the trailered/show cars,so their internals are cheaper and their oil less plentiful.

I wrote Bob Harris, owner of Camaro Specialties about his business practices as discussed in this thread. He replied..

"We did not state otherwise. We do not want people to think they are readily available. We only have 2 sets currently and anyone who asked us got an honest answer. They are new reproduction shocks that we have dated. We have never misrepresent any parts we have ever sold. You guys are entited to your opinions and I believe you do a good job keeping people honest but any one that knows me also knows that are business practices are always upright. Thanks for the constructive criticism. Have a blessed Christmas. Bob

This is not right. We only have 2 sets till we make more. If it is repo they should say so.

Have to agree. If it is a reproduction part, call it what it is. When you advertise a classic car part as "dated" that is absolutely misleading.

I sent Bob an email through Ebay during his auction questioning if they were repro shocks with the date stamped in them. He replied "yes". Bob chose to not show the questions asked during his auction. Total BS for a guy in the parts business.
