You don't think factory performance parts are cool? Factory offered headers, off-road cam, crossram setup, transistor ignition, etc. They are all neat because they were offered by GM. Ford did the same thing with the cross-boss setup. AMC actually used an Edelbrock manifold I believe. I can see people paying for original performance parts, it's the people paying $1500 for a set of door sill plates that I don't understand. But it all comes down to suppyly and demand regardless of what type of part it is. Restoring a car with correct or appropriate parts has become a huge hobby. I thought crossrams were overpriced at $5000 but then people kept paying more and more. Never doubt a person's desire to restore their car the way they want.
