Don't know if he still has it but knew a guy that bought a brand-new '78 Z28 w/ a 4spd. and put it in his basement with about 20 miles on it.
Not to go off topic, but I THINK there was strict rules that threatened severe penalties for any dealership that didn't follow through with the insane C4C---not that it didn't happen and it was probably near impossible to catch a dealer doing it.
Good god C4C was one of the dumbest acts in modern times.
and it was a cluster.
And there were severe penalties in place. We had several nice vehicles traded in under C4C as well as some with brand-new tires, etc. Several techs asked the GM about swapping tires and/or wheels and one asked about buying one truck outright. GM said he would face a $25, 000 (IIRC) fine if one part was taken off a vehicle and no way could he sell one outright. Strange because salvage yards were the ones who picked them up after we ran them through the shop, added the slurry mixture they furnished after draining the oil, then running the engine until it locked up. Everything else on the car was fair game for the salvage yard to sell.
