OK,you folks;going to do my part to help out some of you in mid-Michigan and beyond. There's an auto repair facility near me that was having a LARGE garage sale,and I stopped by and scored a '62 Pontiac 421 Super Duty intake(casting #54299). More on that later... A lot of big(389 to 455) Pontiac parts,small-block Chevy stuff;heads,blocks,etc.,but in talking to the lady there,she mentioned a lot of "old car parts" still stored away. Unfortunately for me,no Chrysler stuff-bummer!-but there's a lot of stuff left for other makes. Howza 'bout an early '50's Chevy 2-door out back(not bad),an early '60's Studebaker(probably a parts car) and a decent '60's Stude grille there,and who knows what else. The place is "Precision Auto Repair" on Elms Rd. in the Flint area,between Lennon Rd. and Bristol Rd. Phone is 810-635-3434. Here's what I scored;not for sale,but will trade for interesting Chrysler RB items(like this and cash for a '62-4 cross-ram?): It's in great shape,not machined on intake flanges,no cracks/breaks/damage. No carbs or valley plate however. Those would have been a nice bonus. I plan on going back and inquiring about those pieces(I was in a bit of a hurry) tomorrow,but wanted to let the crowd here know;maybe there's some goodies awaiting some other lucky soul.
Oops;the sale is actually in Swartz Creek,Michigan,just west of Flint,MI. It's running through tomorrow and possibly Sunday. Hope this helps. Yes,this was an intentional bump...but it might help someone out.
