Mopar hobbyists were procrastinators when it came to buying them.. saying they would have, should have, but never wanted to until it was too late.
This is what I kept thinking of when the thread from last year was building.
For Bill Allphin to have only sold 100 in seven years is pretty sad (not because of Bill but the lack of interest from the market) when he could probably sell 100 in less than a year now is a big difference in demand.
I completely understand those that are working within a budget but we're talking about a filter for a setup that is rarely found for less than $1,000 used, i.e. carbs, linkage, intake, air cleaner assembly. To complain about a filter for $100 to $200 really doesn't make sense at that point. This is in the context of adding the setup to a car that didn't come with one originally.
For those that have a car that came with this filter originally but wouldn't buy it because of the price, I 100% agree with Dave on this point. For what everything else costs to do with such a car, excluding the garage art, trailer, truck to haul trailer, etc., this filter's price is relatively minor.
I hope for those that do want to buy one that Tony D. is right and there is a reproduction coming.
Mike.

There's a thread on the various versions of the filter over on the A12 forums. http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1333584692
Bob if I had to pick one for performance I'd bet the bottom left air filter CA332 in the last photo would flow the most of all of those paper filters there. The originals were really restricted by the round hole mesh. And now I think I know what the V is for; "Very restricted" or "Velocity restriction" and not Vintage series like I thought

The deal is this;
You pay upwards of a 1000 for the setup but to spend 100 for a filter that you will have to replace over and over(10 filters 1000 if you drive it all the time) when the 6 pk setup you should only have to buy one time. I would go cheap also.
I have no idea what conditions you drive in but in my daily driver, I'll put four filters in over the course of 200,000 miles and I over maintain so the filter isn't really due to be changed. Changing filters ten times?
As far as options, what's out there? K&N and then what? Going cheap is fine, but if you want a correct appearing filter, it's not cheap now.

I was thinking the same thing..200K on my Honda and I probably put 3 or 4 filters in it. In MOST cases it will be the only filter you will ever buy for a collector/hobby style vehicle.
I dont know if its mentioned, and this might add to the cost, but this is what I do. I have one of the diamond mesh style ones(that I got real cheap) that I use for driving and save the round one for the shows/cruises...

You guys live in the plush green north. Down here in south Texas it is a dust bowl most of the time.
I may have exaggerated on the number of changes but it was for a point. Filters you change carbs, intake, air cleaner stays the same.
Four to six months of snow or dust all year! I guess every area has its pitfalls. 
Like I said, hopefully the filters get reproduced.
Mike.
