If I had an original I'd sell it if I knew the repos were exactly like the originals only without date codes.

Heres an original one on Ebay now, Now that the repros are coming out this will be one of the first tests to see how or if they will affect originals. Opening bid is $8500, 6 1/2 days to go.

Did you really mean to say "A cross ram on a drag car" ? I think that statement would apply more to a street car. I ran one on my '62 Chev II and it was very good. Not good on the street though.

It kinda looks that way to me Darren. Always seems to be about the buck! Sam

Yes I agree that a reputable seller would "have" to market the manifold as a repo. BUT what is to stop someone from misrepresenting it in 2 years as Charlie said. AND if they have dates on them who is going to know? This could get REAL ugly in 5-10 years!

Personally I've never paid much attention to this Xram intake manifold,until the recent ebay prices,& last Januarys B/J auction car.
Was it these two incidences that caused the repro market to take notice,or were they tooling up to repop this manifold looooong before those two examples happened?
