So lets do a fact check...Don't you have health insurance to pay your Cardiologist ?
Looks like Marc should have taken my offer on a bet it would go to $5K...
I thought at the last minute, like usual, sharp shooters would bit it up over $5K...$4200 was too cheap...
I do have health insurance. However, I have a deductible, and a coinsurance. Plus a $60.00 copay every time I walk through the door. The real cost is all the tests and scans and procedures he keeps sending me for. I'll likely need open heart in the not too distant future, so $$$.
You paid less tan $4200 for your 2002 Vette ?
Holy crap...you can now sell it and get 2 MCM hoods and a bag of chips....
Haha I did actually. I am pretty sure I have the cheapest running and driving C5 ever sold. Total with tax and a new license plate (which is an annoyingly large expense here in Florida) was $3,730.96. It will be three years ago in just a few days.

Pray everything goes well for you and a speedy recovery when this happens and until it happens.

Prayers that surgery is not needed, Monty, but if so, that you are back up and active soon.
And, yeah, I was another who thought the hood would go higher; told my wife over the weekend that it would hit $5,000.
That sucks... Prayers for your future surgery
Here"s a thought...maybe you could sneak over to Mexico and change your name to Senor Monty Alonso Sotomayor then illegally cross back into the US as an illegal with a fake id and get free everything...that's what's happening now anyway... Mfkers....
Then....buy an MCM hood

Thanks so much all of you for the prayers and well wishes. Unfortunately, the need for surgery is inevitable as I have some valve issues. I have an invasive test next Friday that they have to put me to sleep for. That will give them a much better picture of what they're dealing with, and how much longer it will be before I need the surgery (as well as what surgical options I have). Last year my cardiologist was saying I had another 10 years (before surgery). A few months ago, he was saying a year or two. Now, they're saying it could be sooner. I'll know for sure after this next test. Thankfully, my wife (and our new puppy) will be able to help take care of me if I am down for an extended period of time.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this thread and bids on the hood. As many of you know i bought the MCM Company out 7 years ago. We have the molds in house and i have tried to find a company who could produce the hoods for me. I have had no success as most companies wanted to send the molds to China and i was in no way going to do that. I wanted a company that was close enough i could drop in and have some control over production and of course quality. You know the old saying if you want something done right do it yourself? Well i made the decision this week to produce the hoods in house. Yes we will be offering the hoods for sale in the very near future and we are super excited to finally get the hoods back into production.. I will be announcing more details here on the forum in the coming weeks.

That's fantastic news!! Depending on price, I would potentially be interested.

I am all in on one when you get things figured out. Put me down to be one of the group buy people. I actually came in 2nd on that ebay hood you just sold. 2nd is the 1st loser though, right!
That's the thing with that bidding war, ya just never know how far you missed the target until someone has some info. If I hadn't been working on getting a new bumper cover then I'd have probably bid once more. I was pushing my limit pretty hard with what I did bid. I'm not disappointed to speak of because like you said, I'll see what Marc can come up with and get the high-rise one that I really want and hope it fits just as good. Maybe the backup one will work out too....
Which C and type? C5 and /or C6 Low rise and/or High rise ???
We will be buiding all versions. I have all 4 molds.

The material cost is going to be expensive. My vendor failed to get the quote out to me today. They were $2000 10 years ago. Materials have increased along with inflation so we will be well above the $2k.

Done deal, your in due to you were a bidder. The other spots will be done via a lottery and will post a thread for the remaining spots.

You can rest assured they are going to be of the highest quality or we will not produce them. Period. No half *** hood will ever be sold under the MCM name!
