Hot Rods Look A Pontiac V-8 Man-A-Fre

Tim Bowman found and built this very rare Pontiac V-8 Man-A-Fre manifold. He knows of only 3 examples currently in the U.S. Anyone know of any others?

 

Well if @moriarty doesn’t have one, I’d wager he’s seen one.

 

If Moriarity doesn’t have a few I bet Titus does.

 

Well,,,,Mark isn’t really a Pontiac guy,,,,,but,,,,I’m sure he has the other two examples bought and in his collection. Lol!

@axle would be the person to ask.

By the way,,,,that rear scotch is cool as well .
Working mans scotch,,,,,.

Also,,,it just occurred to me ,,,,,I believe that most of us here feel like Jan Brady,,,from the Brady bunch.
Instead of Marcia,,Marcia, ,Marcia,,,,,,it’s Moriarity,,,,Moriarity,,,,Moriarity,,,,,,,he has everything !!!
LoL ,,,,,just kidding .
Mark,,,,,you deserve everything you have,,,,,I can’t imagine that anyone works harder or studies old customs and hot rods more than you do .
As the saying goes,,,” to the victor,,,go the spoils “,,,,,you’ve earned it all buddy !

I missed out on that one. Does anyone know where another one is? I finally found a ‘60 389 to put in my 55 GMC and I can’t think of a cooler combo for my old truck than that.

 

Hi. Please contact Tim Bowman at old school induction. He can probably find you one eventually. Nick

 

I actually just acquired a complete Pontiac Man-A-Fre set up, and plan on using it on my '32 Five Window. Although I have heard of these elusive intakes, had never seen one until I got my hands on mine. Rare is an understatement. I'll post pics of mine tomorrow. Cheers

 

Here's my setup.

 

Cool, I think I still have a Man A fre owners manual somewhere?

 

I'd love to see it. Heck, I'd love to have it

 

If I can dig it up I will send you a copy. Mine was downloaded from here 20+ years ago

 

@axle , yep, real hen’s teeth right there.
So very cool !!!

 

I am curious how many were made , how many have survived .

the Hamb is fantastic for bringing obscure and rare speed parts upfront for us to see and ogle over .


I always think how much of this stuff got tossed back in the day as it’s “ old , primitive , outdated “ etc etc .

seen it with a lot of “hot” vw stuff as they where mostly considered disposable fun cars a lot of stuff got junked and now it’s worth a small fortune.

 

Hey pal, no, I unfortunately didn't BUT am building another that will be VERY similar

 

Oh man, that thing is sexy....

If you come up with an extra, please let me know.
