Not so hypothetical question. If I could make one upgrade to my A12, should I buy:
1. Original Hood in Mint condition 2. Complete original carbs and intake needing rebuilding 3. Mint original 054 radiator 4. Repop H-Wheels
Just curious what other A12 owners think is the "must have" part when investing some cash.

I would be happy with just having an A12 car. Might have to liquidate to get one.

So,I checked and a set of 5 repop H wheels are $2500 delivered. Youch! I found a original induction system on ebay needing a complete rebuild for $2900, Double Youch!! Is that the going rate for a period correct intake and set of carbs? It appears I have the original hood after reading other posts here. Hard to believe that the aftermarket hoods actually look better underneath than the factory ones. Newbie A12 owner here so just trying to get caught up.

I don't see the original carbs and intake being a $2900.00 part needing rebuilt and restored. I sold a set of original A12 dated auto carbs and original intake for $1500.00 a few years back. I might could see 2K on a 4 speed set up with intake , but that's about it. Air cleaner has always been the big ticket item but it is repopped as well but its expensive as well. Now lets see some pictures of the car. Matt

Well, I actually bought two A12s from the same owner. A B5 Runner w/ auto and a F6 Bee with a stick. The Runner has all its original equipment except missing the H wheels. The Bee has a later six pack set up, wrong radiator and missing the H wheels. Thus my questions concerning "must have" parts. I haven't sent pictures to a web site yet since I just bought the cars this past weekend, so I cant add them to this post unless Im missing something. Moparts.com needs to get with the 21st Century and add an attachment button. Just sayin.
