Having seen this badge pop up in a previous post I decided it would be a nice thing to have as I have a Supercharged car. There was a lot of interest in the badge however it was described as being as rare as hen's teeth. Somebody tracked down the US part number and put up a link to a GM parts warehouse in the States that listed this part. However these guys do not ship to the UK. "I know what I'll do" I thought, "I'll run a group buy as I have relatives in the States and can get them shipped through them". I posted that and got a lot of interest and maybe a list of 10 or so. Well they said the part had been on back order for seven months and had been advised that it would no longer be available. I pressed the issue a little and they did a full US search on the GM part number and found two, just two, left in the whole of the US of A. "Can you tell me where they are?" I asked. I contacted the dealers and ordered both, one from Oregon and one from Massachusetts. These have both now arrived. I am keeping one and will offer the other for sale. They were not cheap originally and with tax, postage, UK VAT and International handling charges owe me quite a bit so..... Offers invited by PM only and if I get one that is sensible enough I will pass it on to the lucky new owner. Remember, according to GM USA this is the last available one in the world. Sits back and waits for somebody to post up that they have a bag of twenty in their shed or that they found them on eBay for £4.49. [attachment=22201:08072010081.JPG]

Some sort of Cobalt Ion Saturn thing I would imagine. May well be some rotting in scrappies in Nevada.

Looks into the box with random stuff...

Ah, found my shiny Ecotec Supercharged badge, mounted onto the original black LSJ injector cover...
Was a freebee with some other US parts.

(Sorry...)
