Just took receipt of my ZZ4 from Burt Greenwald GM Performance Parts in Akron Ohio. I am in San Diego and the reason why I purchased it from Ohio, is because the local dealers here in San Diego were asking ridiculous prices for the same crate. They were asking anywhere between 4,100 and 5,400 for the same engine with no special reason for the mark-up. (Profit I guess). When I asked why the mark-up they all basically said, "that's what the computer says". When I asked would they match the price the other dealers are selling the same ZZ4 crate for, they just look at me and said "No". Even if they did match the price of 3,185, I stilled saved by purchasing the ZZ4 from out of state. The shipping cost was 225, which came to a total of 3,410. If I had purchased it here in San Diego, the tax would have brought the total price to 3,432. A saving of only 21 bucks, but that’s only if they would of matched the price. Oh well, their loss and my gain and the moral of this story is, “Do the research before doing any major purchase”. The Internet is a very powerful tool if used wisely.
Here are some pictures of the ZZ4 after I opened the crate. Should have it in my 67 and on the road by the end of this year.
