wonderbar

I have read a few post recently that say GM no longer has the wonderbar available. I have access to about 2000 of them. If any one is interested e mail me. JIMS406RS@peoplepc.com
Thanks
Jim

Hey Guys,
Right now it looks like pricing is gonna be about $25 plus shipping. I need to get some kind of idea of how many people really want one before I get my hands on them. I will be accepting paypal for payment. Please e mail me if you want one. JIMS406RS@peoplepc.com
Thanks
Jim

By the way. This is new GM original parts in original packaging

I'm interested

I'm in Philadelphia, PA, and I'm interested and the price is right, but I'd really rather not use PayPal, heard too many bad stories. I'll send you a MO, when you get the money, ship.

Everyone,
Just a quick update. I have about 20 people with a verbal agreement so far. I should recieve the first bar on tues or weds. I want to make sure it is the right part before I accept any payment or place a big order. Please be patient. A couple of people did not want to use paypal, I will also accept money orders but keep in mind this will take a little longer. If you have any questions e mail me
Thanks
Jimmy

Everyone interested,
The first order should be here soon. As so as I know, you will all know. The wonder bar should fit all 82-92 f-bodys. I'll keep everyone posted.

Wait; I'm confused; this doesn't seem right. How did you get access to so many? And we just send you money? Do we just e-mail you with the # we want, or is there a website to place an order from?

Uh....2000?! I'm sure you don't want to disclose your source, but any idea why 2000 of them? A lot GM stash? Manufacture made way too many and scrapped them in a back room?
Let us know......

Umm...?

Does a wonder bar have the same affect if you have a rack and pinion steering setup?

I would think the rack (assuming it's mounted to both frame rails) would have the same or similiar effect. So the wonderbar might not help as much since you already have one stiff tie between rails, but it would still help some I'm sure.

how do you have a rack in your car?

To everyone that is interested,
I am still waiting on the first bar to make sure everything is legit. I have recieved everyones email. I will be making all replys on this message board due to the fact that I have recieved over 100 emails with the same questions. As soon as I am satisfied that everything is good to go I will start accepting payment. I will accept Paypal or Money orders. Paypal is prefered. Keep in mind Money order will take a little longer. I know this is taking a long time but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. I will post back as soon as I know something
Thanks for your patience,
Jimmy

ATTENTION EVERYONE:
I recieved the first part today and I am sorry to say that this is in fact the WRONG PART. Apparently a part number was misprinted in the parts and illustration catalog. The actual wonder bar is in fact discontinued. I apologize to everyone that has been so patiently waiting to hear the news.
Thank you
Jimmy

part #

Another guy on here did the same thing. Seems to be GM's practice to discontinue parts and continue using the part #'s on other stuff. Order a wonder bar, get a TPS for a 95 Suburban...oh well....

I know I keep saying it, but it's true. Soon. Still have several steps to do and some tooling to finish. The first time takes the longest.
