AC Delco carburetor Cleaner, Vintage

While cleaning out my warehouses , I found these gems on a pallet that I put in there in the mid 90s, real deal carburetor cleaner.

That's the stuff that shot Tupac .
I think I remember using that carb cleaner. I believe there was a contraption that hung from the hood, and would gravity feed into the carb, at a minute amount while the car was Idling .

Oh, and im not sure if that is the same stuff, but I recently exploded a can of tire cleaner like that. Mine was in an aerosol can . It got on my face and neck, and in all my years in the biz, this burnt worse than any chemical I have ever gotten on my skin, including brake kleen, laquer thinnner, and stripper .
. I was sure I was heading to the er, but it quit hurting shortly after it flashed off, and my skin was only mildy red. Im lucky none went into my eyes

The question is why do you have this stuff? I'm sure it wasn't cheap when new.

Just don't offer to ship it to anyone, that would be dumber than buying it all in the first place.

In the warehouses, they were on pallets and shrink wrapped.
Definitely don't want to lose anymore fuchs.

I was a wholesale auto parts rep, and when we closed the business, it was just the owner and myself, he and his wife owned it, they were getting a divorce and she forced it to be closed. We moved most of the product, below is the warehouses he built, so between the actual product, a fleet of small and large delivery trucks and other business and shop equipment, it was a tall order. At the end, he leased out the building (although sold it a few years ago) and I got to keep what product we had left, since i already had warehouse space in the same industrial park.

I definitely don't plan on shipping, pick up only.

I have already gotten rid of some of the other stuff before I got to these pallets
Evidently some people are paying for his stuff
$80 is what it sold for, don't know how they did shipping.
