Re: Wow... this thing sold for 1500.00!
Given the cost to purchase a manifold and 4 throttle bodies (if converting to EFI), the purchase price probably wasn't completely out of line. I would question the throttle linkage, bushings, etc. as compared to new stuff, but.....
Not a bargin by any means unless like you say, it has some historical value. I think I'd rather have new stuff.
