    So what do you think, is this the start of 4th gen parts starting to soar in price?

    saw that yesterday, and yes absolutely. Im already wishing i had hung onto some parts. I just saw today some old ZR1 wheels like i used to have going for $500. I sold a set of those with tires for 350...

      doubt it, I haven't had any issues getting parts from the dealer yet. Maybe on select few rare items but then again their prices were always high

        The dealer required parts are almost played out...they only have to keep them in stock for 7 years (to 2009)...so, yes, they will be getting scarce...but that is also true for 4th gen Camaros, not just Firebirds...

        Stockpile them if you can, my friends...

          those airboxes have always been a rare item and very expensive, I looked into one to change my car over to a functional ram air hood a few years back was still expensive then. bottom line is how many ws6 lt1 TAs do you see around....there were few made and less that exist today.

            Hopefully stock Camaro spoilers become scarce so I can jack up the price and get rid of mine

              Bare in mind that the auction also includes the MAF and ALL parts to install. Considering ive seen a camaro SS airbox, just the box, go for 100 quickly, i dont think its bad. Eric L

                  Interested in a 3-piece spoiler from a '99 RS? It's got some damage, but could be repaired by someone who knows how to fiberglass. . . I think I only paid like $50 for it.

                      actually i can think of two parts right off the top of my head that GM has discontinued. The LT4 knock module, and the non-traction-control throttle cable. Both parts many LT1 guys want/need.

                        That air box is an okay price. I think the original owner of mine (Who was a family friend) said when he bought it brand new it was $500ish? I don't remember though, been a long while.

                          Both parts I may be interested in.

                            Angie's dealership just ordered a non-traction control throttle cable for me when I was doing the LT1 project. Didn't have any problems finding them in stock.

                              they may still be in stock, but i heard they are not in production anymore.
