Not Mine but on eBay - Schumacher Dart FS
Did he have patents on this stuff? Or if he did, maybe the patents ran out? I think a patent is only good for 7 years then you have to renew it. Plus anybody can make a similar product and it's not considered infringement if there some changes made to make it not exactly the same.
I do know that Transdapt is offering a very similar product to swap a small block in place of a slant sux for 67-72 A body. Maybe since its a bigger company than Schumacher, they can make the kit cheaper. Plus your now working with the market for this type of mod kit slowing down simply because most of the cars that would need this kit have either been modified with it, or have V8 K frames already.
In the end it was still a great idea since a majority of A bodys came with a slant sux in them. I would venture to say at minimum probably 75% of them did.
