Ahh..it's not me!

[REJ]

If that is the right price, I'd say it was more than a tad over the line!!

[Roothawg]

Nah, I know what he did...it's an old ebay bidders trick.
Nuff said.

[daddyo54]

I can't believe I won it!! I've wanted that setup for years now it's all mine!

[bigron]

[Junkyard Dog 32]

Wow! I wonder what the guy would give for the whole Camaro...

I s'pose we can expect to see "another" one of these pop up in a couple weeks with an $18,000 reserve since "that other one went for so much"

[Kojack]

I know.

A mullet inherited some cash, and there it all is.

[choprods]

All the bidder has to do is wait till the last few days and RETRACT his bid stating he mistyped it-and was really ONLY bidding 218.00!

[HOTRODPRIMER]

Damn,,,no DAMN! HRP

Hell, I'll sell my Rivi to him for only $80k....

[Thirdyfivepickup]

No accidental bidding... this is legit...

...and sick!

Look at the bid history!!!!

Makes me want to fart in a jar again...

[Turbopackman]

God, if you look at the bid history, one guy retracted his because he "accidently" bid $165,000.01 !!!!! I wish this guy worked for my bank!

When I first looked at it I thougth it was a whole car, $21,000 just for a intake and carbs.

[tomslik]

there was a gennie oem complete setup that went for 23K a few weeks ago.
local guy sold his original crossram Z28 for something like 150K.....

more money than brains but who am i to argue... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[The37Kid]

If I saw this setup at a yard sale I'd walk by it.......well, up till now. What the heck makes this worth so much to some bowtie guy?

i had a setup when we were into camaros in the 70's and i sold it then for big money, http://www.yearone.com/enthusiast/restoarchives/summer97/crossramz28/z-28.htm

[Boones]

original GM part number set ups with all correct parts and correct part numbers are very rare. I remember them going for about $2500 back in the mid 80's. I had an aftermarket intake that worked just find for my camaro..

60biscayne, Thanks for the link! I've added this to my memory bank of things to look for in the future. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yet another clown with more money than sense.

[Curt R]

sad story? but true. At a swap meet Friday afternoon, saw and identical SBC cross ram set up COMPLETE sitting on the ground, asked "how much?", guy says "sold it about 5 minutes ago", "how much?", "hundred bucks". Did I miss one of those "deals of a lifetime"? Was there a similar aftermarket setup? Didn't Smokey Yunick have a similar setup?

[oldchevyseller]

alot of cross ram stuff out there, this intake just happened to coincide with the trans am racing and all the politics that went with it , when the ruling class said you can run no more than 2 carbs, instead of 1 ,to run high rpms chevy determined the longer runners and to keep it low they just moved the carbs laterallly, anyhow, my favorite cross ram is a 348 409 one i saw ,it uses a regualr inline twin carb manifold , but the runers bolted on and you got a nice looking 2 carb cross ram setup

[Hot Rod To Hell]

WOW!!! I NEED one of those cross rams for my 409!!!

There were a couple of similar aftermarket manifolds. You can pick them up fairly inexpensive. The Edelbrock "Smokey Yunick" one is may favorite. I always hada soft spot for late 60's early 70's Trans-Am racing....
