Hey guys, I am tired of fighting on eBay for center caps, if any of you have a nice set of center caps that you're willing to sell, please let me know...

Good luck with this, Jim!!
Original caps are like gold! Repros are $80-$100 EACH.
Corvettes were the only cars to have the "Chevrolet Motor Division" on them, and a lot of Camaro guys have stolen them for their turds, cause they look better than the plain-jane ones.
I do see some at swap-meets all the time, but they are still high priced, even for ones with slight scratches.
I will keep an eye out for ya, tho.Adams' Apple2006-11-23 19:02:48

Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
So I guess I was lucky; when I bought the car, it had the plastic ones on it and I was losing them all the time.  So I looked on eBay and got the first set that I bid on for less than 100$ shipped.  Of course they have scratches and a few dents, but they stay in place!
 
Concerning eBay, when I look for something, I usually "save" the search, it sends me an email daily when new auctions are posted.  Eventually, you'll get a set!  Good luck!
