Trying to find an A-12 base or complete assembly.

I am sure this has been covered before, but a quick use of the "search" function did not come up with any results.

Would prefer original, but if there is a decent re-pop available, I would consider it. Trying to locate one for a friend with a real A-12 project car which is finally getting worked on.

I think 2,200.00 is TOOOO MUCH for an original air cleaner base only.
You should be able to find a Complete system (lid, base, hoses, corners, seal) for that price or less depending on the shape. I know I found one a lot cheaper then that but it took me about 4 months to find a nice one. I found mine here on moparts.
An original one will hold it's value better then the snobar one will.

I say keep looking, a Good deal will come along.

This is true and i still do not have one yet I am also waiting but i think for my app I am going fiberglass when time comes. but if I had a real a12 car i would buy snobar which is a nice metal repop or a real deal as I do know where one is. lots of dough I can buy for $2000.00 just want to make a little dough do not need any more friends ecomomy does not support it

If you mean mine, sorry it's NFS, after a light blasting and repaint, it's going on my car. I am going to try and reuse the seal since I have heard bad things about the repops. A friend bought this one on eBay for me last year, they do show up every now and then.

I would say there only between 5 and 10 of these orig Air Cleaners that come up for sale every year, I have watched them sell on ebay for the past 10 years or so, prices are all over the map, but always strong.

There will be less and less of them for sale as more make their way onto cars that are being restored.

I'm lucky, I have 2, one for each of my A12s....

if you don't know the differance between a original
or a repop
how do you know what it really is you are telling me you can get????

i'm in the market,i've seen a few deals slip by
other things were more important at the time for me.
i'm ready to jump on the next deal i see
thing is i'm in no hurry so
sooner or later i will hit paydirt

snobar is out of the question for me
i wouldn't give a dime to that crook
