They are sneaky with all their descriptions. I called them on hemi pulleys. I asked them if they were real. They replied...Well, they look real to me. They were re-pops. Weasels.

Looks like they cut it to clear the 2 speed wiper motor.
No, The lid would clear the 2 speed wiper motor without any problems. No need to notch it for that. Most AAR & TA came with 2 speed wipers.

Ya your right I forgot about that.

 I bought my air cleaner from them about 4 years ago I think, around when snobar first came out with them. G&D has been doing this WAY to long for it to be a mistake. They always seem to have one of those air cleaners listed on Ebay. Their constant supply of these would indicate they're getting them directly from Ben Snobar and reselling them, which would mean that G&D IS aware they're selling repos. Here's another one now...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/340-SIX-P...sQ5fAccessories
Note that the condition is listed as USED!
Sometimes I run across their auctions while looking for other parts on Ebay. Repro parts are often listed as restored original or NOS. The real parts that they have are often in poor shape with the description ramped up to make the part sound better.

Years ago{middle 90's} Dana sold me a six pack air cleaner 440 style that the hood seals to. I told him it was getting triple plated and I needed a good one with no rust. He sent a beat up rusted base and lid. When I called him he said I have to talk with Dad he was the one that sent it not me. I called back and talked with dad since they never called back and he said lay on primer thick in a few coats and it would paint up nice  Said the dents/bends would be an easy fix as well and it was worth the 300+ I paid and would not refund my $$$ if I sent it back. They have had the TA/AAR air cleaner on Ebay at 750 buy it now off and on it must be the one he sent you

Well, talked to Dana and even though he is not refunding the cash he is going to throw some extra stuff on the 440 to make it more complete (complete head bolts, intake boltd, oil pan and whatever odds and ends he can he said), plus he is giving me an original 1970 HP 440 cast iron intake in compensation. He says the 440 looks OK with std bore and minimal ridge, crank looks ok, no pitting on the hp exhaust manifolds, 23 spline tranmission is a good used unit, etc. I told him all this stuff is coming to Peru so even if they are not new, they have to be good used parts....he is getting everything ready. Ill post when I get all the stuff.  Domingo

I really dont have many options...I have a car sitting in Miami, waiting to be shipped but it needs a 440 and 4 speed. They are close. Not many people are willing to ship a used 440.
I am giving them the chance to do things right. If not, you guys should hear about it here. If they do it right Ill post as well...this is my last post till I get the car and parts...
Domingo, You must like gambling. Hope it turns out.

I would rather do without than buy "ANYTHING" from those two! I don't know how much they sell but they have the same stuff at Carlisle year after year with the same insane prices.

Beat me to it Bruce. That was my question as well. How they are allowed to sell on this site (under multiple aliases as well) I don't understand.
Funny first thing I thought when I read this too....G & D in Florida..Still playing games with the repo's as originals  ....
