High 69 Z-28 cross ram prices coming to an end??

[hugger_69]

Jim made that claim a couple months ago where he stated he would have a complete reproduction intake ready for sale the next week. What happened to that, and why did that marketing claim disappear? He did say that he owned the original tooling did he not? He did claim to be the only one licensed did he not? Perhaps he is proceeding, but at a slower pace than at first thought. In any case, this classicpts ( 28) seller on eBay claims not only to be GM licensed, but states there were no original molds etc. I'd like to hear the rest of that subject as Jim claimed to have them? This seller at least delivered the intake as he claimed he would a couple weeks ago. His ad further states that a complete package will be forthcoming in the new year.

" complete bolt on package including camshaft and lifters will be available just after the 1st of the year if looking to purchase the complete setup"

Very interesting topic if you ask me. I would predict this will bring down the price of originals somewhere near the 12,500.00 market, with the complete repop kits will sell in the 7K range. If other vendors like Heartbeat also obtain licensing, then surely there will be a price war on repop units? I doubt there will be more than one vendor if GM has backed the part with licensing. They get royalties on the rice, and creating more than one vendor is like GM shooting themselves in the foot isn't it?

Time will tell.....
