CP my pms are sitting in my outbox and wont send. Please send your paypal addy to( m1917a1@ymail.com )

My does that too, I think they get sent, but I'm not sure all the time!

I usually get PM's, I got one from CP, but sometimes when I reply, they sit in the outbox, and I don't know if they eventually go out, or not.

just e-mail CP: pjsadler@iinet.net.au

I did, thanks Bill

Anybody have PNs for the grill and hood ornament in that first pic?

I may like to be in on this.

Does the $199 include shipping?

CP has 'em, but since they aren't in the US (Chevy) catalog for this platform, they can't be purchased thru GM NA, so the PN's would do no good. And since they weren't used on Holden-brand domestic (Oz) cars, they're in a somewhat odd status as far as getting them pushed out of the Holden parts system--which guys like CP have figured out how to do.

I'm also thinking that some of the past internal rules on "non-domestic" parts for cars like the Caprice variants (Park Avenue, Veritas, and M.E. Caprice cars, including the one that uses this grille) are being relaxed so that the remaining inventory of these very-low volume parts aren't left sitting on the shelf at the shutdown of manufacturing, no matter what happens to Holden's parts and new car sales operations.

Some Holden parts with exclusive application outside of Oz MAY have been VIN restricted, sort of like what is being done with Z/28 parts, but for different reasons--if it's a component that has to be approved for sale in a country where the vehicle isn't sold, such as the DOT approval for US production lighting parts, or possible for other regulatory or safety reasons. Remember the old T84's for B-body--even though they weren't VIN-restricted (to my knowledge) I doubt DOT would have been pleased to see them in use on US roads.

Pretty sure that's a "yes", but a multiple-part shipment to one location could make it less, even with the re-ship cost from that US location.
