Bitch about it all you want, my NOS rears sold for $950 shipped in less than three hours. I'm pretty sure the buyer resold them in the $1200 range. They were almost that high when GM discontinued them. Very few hoarded them because of the price GM wanted for them. If you look at it as a percentage, they didn't go up near as much as most of the other GM parts when they were discontinued. If GM wanted $150 a side like the fronts, they'd cost the same as NOS fronts do today. GM is the one who screwed us all on the rear fillers.
Ever price the "grand national" emblem on the fender from GM lately?
