I saw this on Facebook. I don't know if it is a joke or not?

Well apparently many Chevy dealers think that they are too good, as witnessed by this screen capture of a Purchase Contract posted on Facebook.

I am in the the NYC vicinity and can state that even stock/standard C8's typically sell for sticker plus 10.

This does remind me of one of the points of discussion recently posted here about the "reorganization" of Ford under the current CEO. One of the points mentioned about justifying selling new vehicles directly on line and bypassing the new car dealers is Ford's dissatisfaction with dealers marking cars up over list.

Whereas supposedly we are all interested bystanders, sometimes these "Detroit-isms" overflow the internal local corporate battles and become viewable by the general public.

For me, sometimes it's difficult to tell the good guys from the bad ones? Can Ford's "suggested proposal" be writing on the wall for Chevy too?

No one has had any of these for quite some time. I'd be interested in a nice complete used kit as an alternative. What have you got? PM me.

If you have any of the components individually I'd be interested in those also.

I saw this on Facebook this morning.

I thought others would like to see it as well.

Are the rivets that hold the Mustang horn halves together available new from anyone?

Here's a scenario to consider in your response.

Presuming that say a "Shelby" was purchased in 1970 for $1,000, and kept and maintained all these years and sold now for $150,000, is the amount dealt with like selling a stock or like selling a house?

The reason that I ask, a stock has no maintanence cost. If I bought 1,000 shares of Apple at $4 per share and sell it now there was no cost to me of maintaining it.

On a car, there were 40 years of insurance, repairs, and other maintenance to maintain it's value. Without actually totaling the number, that could be more then the actual sales price of the car?

So how does this get declared? Is there a "discussion" or debate with the IRS about that AND does this have to be declared as "ordinary income"?

I need 2 top loader detent pins and springs. Just PM me here if you have any that you can sell. Thanks

I'm specifically looking for the paint markings common to 67 GT500 manual transmission cars but also common ones from different years.

If you could, posting them here would be helpful.

Thanks.
