I have January 1966 3885069 rectangular port aluminum intake that I am thinking of selling but I have no idea what to ask for it. The outside of the bolt hole between cyl 1 and 3 is broken and a 3/8 piece is missing. There is also a hairline crack in the post where the fitting for the brake vacuum screws in but I think both would be easy repairs. Anyone have any idea what I should ask for it? I also have a pair of 840 heads that need to be freshened. Thanks Folks. Terry

Easy repair to be functional? Or easy to repair to be cosmetically correct? Most people willing to pay the big $$$ are going to want correct looking, and correct resto will be pretty expensive...

IMO, maybe ask $200-$250 and see if anyone bites... IMO, might only be worth $150-$200 as-is, but always start high...

Thanks Tony. If that is all it is worth I guess I will hang on to it. It looks good hanging on the shop wall. LOL!
