Value of an Original Crossram Intake
 
Does anyone have a ballpark value of an original crossram intake in unmodified bare condition? I have not seen any for sale since the market was swamped with the repros. Also, have the repros gotten any better? The ones I saw a few years ago were not great.


Thanks,

Ricks First Gen Camaro's had a forum on the crossram last year at the GM Nationals and they stated why the repros weren't that great. They aren't supposed to be because of keeping the market pure. Too many good aluminum welders out there making fakes. They had a lot of the popular manufacturers of the crossrams like Edelbrock,Offenhauser and the GM liscensed HeartbeatCity crossram on display. Very infromative about it's history. Also stated what to look for on a fake. I do remember that it was stated that the Offenhauser was the closest to the original out of all of them and that was because the intake plenum had a little bit better distribution of fuel and air. I am not an expert on any of this so I have no idea of a value, but can say that I have seen a whole entire setup with a tag of 20k on it up at Carlisle a year beforehand. Not sure if all the parts were there or correct or original restored? Just letting you know what I had seen. Hope that helps a bit?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

I haven't really been following much activity with the crossrams lately. But I would imagine an original GM crossram manifold would still bring in the $10-14K range depending on condition. Last I remember, complete setups were in the $17-25K range. I don't know if anyone else knows of any real sales lately.

Jeff,


Thanks for the reply. I have one I am trying to confirm is original. Although it looks good on the shelf, it would be nice to see it on someone's car.
