Is there a market for a damaged exhaust manifold?
 

Would anyone know if there is a market for an original pair of GM #3942527 & GM #3946826 exhaust manifolds w/original smog tubes & extensions? With one catch---the LH side has a 2" hairline crack (outlined in black ink in photo) along with an ear missing where the one mounting stud area is broken (see screw in photo). We had the unfortunate incident while replacing the original mounting studs with new ones. While there is nothing structurally wrong with the RH side all the casting numbers are not legible. The mounting bolts on this side cooperated and were replaced with no problem. This pair of manifolds were removed from a January, 1969 Chevelle Concours wagon--it came with a factory 350/300HP 4-speed (still have before photos). I managed to buy the entire smog system A to Z about 6 years ago and had all of the above restored for my '69 Camaro. At this point the only thing on my car now are the smog pump, pulley and brackets, and all original mounting bolts. Like to hear some suggestions or comments as to would there be a market for such manifolds. I don't have the desire to ship them out and have them repaired because I won't be using them. Thanks in advance. Look forward to hearing from you guys. Check out the pics...

With the 1) Crack 2) broken/missing stud flange 3) and significant pitting I'd say
the market value is very low to nil..................

There are reproductions of these two manifolds which wouldnt be noticed (as non oem) by most enthusiasts

Someone would pay something for them. The crack isn't too bad to fix, the broke flange is a bigger issue.
