I recently provided a Fram employee with production numbers of cars that use the oval air cleaner. The box will probably not say Fram but hopefully they will be available after the first of the year.

I'm sitting on one of them, out in the garage.
Been seeing them sell in the $275.00 - $325.00 lately on eBay.
So maybe the people that are needing them, wanting them, are getting them, before the prices get even higher.
Who knows.
Holy cow , here is an orange with chicken wire ... people are getting desperate , I might have to put one up to see where it goes ???

Wow:
Take a look at the eBay completed listing page for these Fram CA332V air filter elements.
One went for $404.00
wow! hmm, neat feature, never used the 'complete listings' before, i like that.....
yeah, i have been looking for one for over a year, ended up buying a decent used original for $250. sure would be neat if the repops happened......

 ..... 
So WHAT is the bottom line here ... ?
What is the price Fram wants on 1000 units ? ...... and is there a "shelf life" on these filters? ... I heard that the pores in the element close-up over a period of time.
Really.....so will the car not start when that happens

I am just asking .....and this is a so-I-heard ...
PORES close up ... then the A/F mixture goes fat.
Wow then I guess an old oil filter could cause an even bigger problem with oil flow as we all know oil is thicker than air

WISEguy ...... 
So WHAT are the cost #'s ?
i last heard, according to fram, a 1000 piece order minimum for retooling, (i believe the original stuff from the CA332V were destroyed, or something of the such. either way, new tooling is required.) @ $50 a piece. so, a $50,000 dollar nut to crack to get them made. quite an investment. but, you would think if several parts houses/companies went in on it together, and agreed on maybe a minimum price, you might be able to pull it off......
as far as old filters closing up, i have an original 70's piece i acquired recently, and the hemi ran just fine breathing through it. but i also ultrasonically cleaned it as well..............

I didnt realize it was that complicated, but makes sense now.
Did they discontinue repops?
