Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
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.

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
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

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
This is not right. We only have 2 sets till we make more. If it is repo they should say so.

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
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.

Re: $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!
It is really funny how one's perception of someone can change in an instance..Isn't this the same Bob Harris that had a Royal Plum '67 RS/Z at one time featured in some Camaoro club magazines?? Isn't this the same guy that turned out some really nice Camaro restorations over the years and who also seemed, to me at least, to have some really desirable 1st gen cars??? I have never dealt with the guy but had a few phone conversations with him over the years regarding his business and different cars for sale from his shop. I always thought he was a stand up guy, but after reading this thread and MORE importantly his reply (assuming it is genuinely his) I think he is a PXX (you figure the letters...), who would dupe someone and risk his reputation for $1500.00 If this is really his attitude, as it appears to be, glad I never did nor will ever do business with this guy! Has the hobby really gotten this bad?
