It was the fan only. The first person that knew I had it bought it. He was also a friend so I think they will do more than that. These fans just don't come alone to often. Another friend of mine got one off of ebay a couple months back and cought everybody sleeping and got it for 50.00

I saw one sell on ebay awhile back for $175 and mentioned this in a PM. It sold on ebay and I asked the seller if it was the 3.25 inch style and it was. I was watching it and missed bidding on it before the auction ended. That was all I had to go on. I offered Charlie $250 (it was a starting point) but never heard anything back. Looks like we were off by $75. I was willing to make a deal, then the next thing I know, it ended up on ebay. You win some, you lose some.

Thanks Plum!

Jonsey...You haven't lost anything. It is on ebay at 200.00. You offered 250.00 but I was also hearing 400.00-600.00 so rather than try to argue with you over values it is just easier to list it on Ebay and really find out the market. What will happen is I will sell it and then need one in about 6 months.....

Charlie, im not advocating that ebay is not a market value assessment - for commodity items, i think ebay establishes the market - but for rare items, it only establishes who and when will someone pay the highest price based on someones need - not what everyone will pay.

I thought offering parts on the site was one way to help the members rebuild these supercars back to original before the dreadful ebay route - then why have a for sale section. . just list everything thru ebay and eliminate this section?

Anyhow, its only a car part, and if any of us want it - we know where to get it and how much we want to pay - too many far more important issues in the world going on than a debate on a 5 blade fan . . supercar or not.

Peace with everyone....

Ed... Quite often when a member posts a wanted ad I do sell him the part if I have it and do it without Ebay. There are probably members that I have given the part to for free. Jonsey seems offended because he offered 250.00 and my reserve is 325.00 so I blew him off over 75.00. I would not have sold it to him in a private transaction for 325.00 because I think that might be under market by as much as a couple hundred bucks. To solve it I put what I think is a low reserve and listed it on Ebay. He could possibly get it for less than I would have sold it to him privately for.
When you decide to sell your car will you sell it for perhaps a 40% discount to a member here ?
These debates are probably a healthy thing...

Charlie, like i said, there are bigger issues than a fan to solve in this world...good luck on the sale and the person who wants it most will go for it, im sure of it.

I think Charlie is right. these fans are rarer then I thought.

Today I got to the warehouse to look at clutches for a few people.
I have eleven 5 blade fans from that time frame.

2 of the fans have 4 rivets like this one, 6 have have 5 rivets, and 3 others have 4 rivets in a box pattern with a square blade mount.
Other than that they all look and measure the same.

Does anyone know the reason? Some appear to be earlier, and some are later. I can tell this because of the original clutches that are mosty still attached.

Does anyone remember the particular applications?
Not all of these came from Chevy, so some have the larger spacing.

Since I only had 2 of the rare ones, they especially would not be for sale.

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** · #10 08-21-2006, 06:04 PM

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
