Horne Intake

Just for giggles, let's say I found a Horne 4 deuce intake for Olds, complete with carbs (94's) and linkage. What should I offer for it? I don't think the guy knows how rare they are and I don't want to screw him. After reading the Street Rodder article a few issues back, they must be very hard to find.

 

my buddy has 2 nos olds horne intake's 4x2.. had a guy offer 1500 for one and my friend turned him down.depends on condition..

 

Never been run.

 

has the horne logo been polished away?i know that the intakes lose alot if the logo or name is gone.id offer $500

 

Like I said never been run, never been installed on an engine, no polishing of any kind. Absolutely virgin.

 

Offered $300 today and He said he would think about it.

 

$300 would be a steal. I wouldn't be suprised to see one sell for between $800 and $1300 depending on condition.....without carbs. Good luck!

 

I'd have him price it. $300 would be a VERY good price. I wouldn't have let him have a day to think about it. Just google "olds horne intake" and look at the first link that comes up. After what JohnJoyo posted...I hope you get it for $300.

 

I paid $350 for my Horne, used, clean, polished and no carbs

paid $400 for a Cragar with 48's, used, clean, complete with lines and linkage.

offer four stop at five.
then give me his name and number

 

Got this for $330. Am picking it up Wednesday. Not sure how virgin it is though. Haven't seen it in many years. This one is for 324 Olds, will it fit Cadillac also?

 

thats a steal.good price.

 

You got a deal but Olds and Cad are different. Build an engine around it.

 

Olds and Cad intakes are way different, and $330 was a great deal!
4 years ago I paid $350 for my Cad 4x2 with 94's, linkage and air cleaners.
At the time I thought I had gotten a "pretty good deal" until I saw a bare intake go for $750.00 on ebay about a month later!

 

I don't do e-bay. This includes four 94's and linkage. Wish they were 97's but can't choosey.

 

Just did a google search on Horne intakes and ran across a Rod & Custom article, the Jot Horne Story, which stated that he started making intake manifolds in 1955 and that he made less than 100. I think he sold the rights, etc... to Cragar.
I also ran accross a bare Horne Cad 4x2 intake that was in the HAMB classifieds in February of this year for $1200.00 and it sold fast. Your deal is sounding better and better!

 

1955? made less than 100 manifolds, total?

I read the article too, but I'm having a hard time believing both those numbers.
I would have thought he made more and earlier.

 

I was thinking the same thing, but R & C is never wrong...LOL!

 

has any one seen one for a y block ford?

'seen Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Hemi but that's the only Y block I've seen

 

I picked that one up, seemed reasonable to me for something as rare.

Ive done some other research too and that fact seems pretty close, i know they came out in 1955, i have a feb 1955 rod and custom with a how to article on bolting on "the new horne manifold" so id say the year is correct, but the qauntity no one will know.

Ive got the horne for a caddy and a horne for an olds that i just bought from Ratatat here on the hamb, and am in search for a hemi horne if anyone has one they want to part with and will pay up for it. id love to go for the quad and have the y-block one too but i dought id be able to round one up, but same goes for that one too.

heres a couple of pics and scans of the old article and an add in the back of the mag, i dont remember seeing any other adds either.

 

never herd of one for a hemi

 

heres a pic of one.

I had a chance to buy a 331 long bell hemi (with the bell cut off) that had chrome valve covers, jahns pistons, adjustable rockers and a horne intake with 4 97's on it, man i dont know why i didnt buy it!

i had 2 for an olds 7 years ago sold them for cheap

 

i have one for a Cad with 4 chrome 97's ( not for sale) i've had it about 15 years

 

Here is the one that Art Gray bought new and ran on his 32 at Bonn. I bought it from him before they went out of sight.

 

Hey guys, I'm a personal friend of Jot Horne and I would love to have one for my '50 Olds 303, sedanette with factory 3 speed. Unnfortunately, I'm a disabled Vietnam Vet and live on social security. Next week I start my qualifing for a heart transplant which I hopefully will get. If any of you guys want to give a good guy a break, it would sure be appreciated and I know Jot Horne would be very excited also.

Mine has the same crossbar between the linkages. It also has wedge spacers under the carbs...might have been in a boat.
I had never known (or seen) that one was made for a Y-Block until today...could there be any other makes out there??

 

Wow, what a deal, On 4-14 oldspert places a what's it worth here, then says he offered they guy $300.00. Now oldspert has it for sale in the for sale ads here. ......

It's posted in the for sale ads for $1500.00


"WOW...That's a good price"
