Those can be tough to price, it looks like you have most of the linkage that is a big plus. I have seen them all over at swap meets in various states from $1200 to $2500 but never saw one sell!

Reproduction air cleaners are real nice quality and cost $700 a pair. Killed the price on originals.
The coil bracket is the same as any BB from the early 60’s

The shipping will be a problem on the intakes, large box is $$ to ship.

I remember a set of these at a show/swap about 25 years ago in Louisville Ky for $250

I had no idea what they were worth. But they sat there all weekend .
No idea if he sold them or not

Most sets Ive seen are missing the block offs that go inbetween the tubes Always wondered what people did with them.As for repo air cleaners mine were pretty much perfect haad all the OE decals and win nuts with them Also had the short springs for carb retuns.The vacuum pot is missing a lot also.I should still have one OE carb left from my setup that was on my 60 Dart D500 car

those blockoffs were cast as part of the intake, then workers cut them out at the bolt holes manually on a band saw, which makes them unique to each manifold.
at one time, those blockoffs were reproduced, and they were made with the intake holes complete and in an oversized square piece.
it was then possible to cut the plates to fit the manifolds you had by placing a line through the bolt holes that matched your intakes.
i only saw adds for those a couple of times, so i'm guessing they are no longer available.
i was lucky with my manifolds, as i got them complete, minus only the carbs, from a 300F my buddy scrapped back in my junkyard days.
i also got the tach drive distributor from that setup.
we almost tore that car in half when loading it on the tilt bed, it was that far gone.
if i had been smart, [never was accused of being that. laugh2] i would have taken a few other items off that car before it was crushed.

$1500 for a quick sale, $2500 if you're willing to wait a little for the right buyer. It's rare to find a set of shorts that are as complete as the ones in the photo. Usually it's just the two bare intake halves and nothing else.

Moparx Im with you.Scraped my 60 D500 for 35 bucks.It was running and rust free.Didnt even take the 500 emblem off the trunk.My old man complained too many cars in the yard.Just glad I did take the dual quads off.Never can remember where the other carb went.Think I had it on a tunnel ram.
