Default Deal of a Lifetime!!

I bought a set of z06 casting 243 heads today. They are brand new, never installed and fully assembled. They were part of an overstock liquidation. I paid $430 plus $40 for shipping. Now I need to learn the art of polishing.

The guy I bought them from said he had 10 sets. He originally posted them on ebay and has been very thorough giving out his name and address and contact info, so I don't think I will be getting screwed. He may have some left if anyone is interested. Go to ebay and type in ls6 heads. They will be the ones that look dirt cheap.

I did the $499 ones and used the best offer peice and waiting to see if he would except them. Originally I offered $375 and he turned it down. I then went higher and he bought off on it.

I will let you all know when they get in. Here is the response he gave me when I enquired about the tracking number.

Response from canadianauto
Item: Z06 LS6 CORVETTE HEADS 243 CASTINGS - WOW!!!!!!! (7996868464)
This message was sent after the listing closed.
canadianauto is the seller.



These were dropped off at UPS this morning. Please give it a chance to make it's way into the system. Try again in 24 Hrs. I can fax you copies of the paperwork if you like but they are indeed on their way.
Regards,
Ron



The only way to get scammed here is if he sent heads that aren't #243 castings or if they are defected. I think we are good to go though. I have never seen a scammer be as thorough as this guy has on responses. Plus he doesn't hesitate to respond. I just think he either went out of business or grabbed them in a hellatious sale and needs the money. When I get them in I will take immediate pics and post them. He told me 7 - 10 days.
