At a big swapper in the early 90's, an old friend had a ton of nos parts tubbed & laid out & a couple of Corvair idiots wanted to buy an nos steering wheel center cap off him. One went on and on, even called another of his buddys over to confirm what it ought to be priced at. My friend had it priced right, but the cheap b#strds kept yammering until my old friend grabbed a hammer from under table & whacked the centercap real good, destroying it. As a hardcore Pontiac restorer, Im sure he wouldn't have done the same to a hard to find Pontiac part, but it was the highlight of the week!
