Interest in Samco hoses?

[cvette98pacecar]

Who is interested in Samco hoses? I am trying to see I could get a discounted rate on a large purchase direct from South Wales to the U.S. I know the Cost of the Hoses and throttle hose are around 350.00 retail. If we could get these for 250.00 to 275.00 who would be interested.

If that price includes all the coolant hoses AND the air intake hose, that sounds like a nice deal.

There are samco hose sets on Ebay for $202.00. Can we get them for less than this cost on a group purchase??? That would be great.

Coolant set 202.00
Air intake 156.00
Total 358.00

If we could get both sets for 75 cent on the dollar (275.00) I think a lot of LT5 would be sporting Samco hoses. I myself would buy four sets as I plan on adding two more ZR-1 to my collection in years to come.

Don't forget the special clamps... do those need to be ordered separately?

Yes, I think we could do a lot better with pricing locally on the clamps.

I'm interested in the coolant hoses if I can get the black ones with no lettering.

I don't think they make any products without their logo... perhaps I am mistaken?

Well someplace on EBay in the UK states they are available without logos. They have an associated picture but I have never seen one in person.

I would be interested in the Air intake piece only in Black.. I already have Samco's on the car

[Blue Flame Restorations]

That Air Intake piece is crazy priced.

I have a set in matt black that look much like OEM hoses, in that they do not have that shiny black finish. They do have a SAMCO logo stamped into each hose but the logo is not painted.

I got my Samco hose kit on ebay for only $175. I don't mind paying $156 for the air horn hose if I can get it in blue to match my hoses. Samco doesn't make Samco hose clamps. You get the killer ABA hose clamps from marsh fasteners.

I agree!!!

I would pay MORE for the hoses without their stupid logo.

Hi David, From scottz95zr1 post #17 the samco classic link page shows
the samco label hot stamped into the hose. Makes a cleaner look I think.

We as a group might have the ability to buy direct at a substantial discount. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks Robert , I was hoping you were still working on this...jim

It is now in the hands of the administrators. If we all save enough we might be able to support 50% of the ZR-1 that are still out there, Three or Four cars each.

So, what kind of cost per set can we get as a group purchase?

[limey]

Added all those to the list, pm's replied.

Brett, the price is $220.00 for the classic non logo black set. There is no white lettering like all the colored hoses.

Thanks, Kurt. I mis-understood. I was thinking your purchase and the group purchase were two different entities. $220 is a good price and I appreciate what you do.

Brett,

I have no idea if the registry is doing a GP, nobody talks about it. So rather than sit on the fence till the cows come home, i just went ahead and put the order in.

Kurt,

Any word on the hose order yet...jimmy

I believe the group is trying to get access to purchase at wholesale pricing.
