Thanks for the pics Jim, I think the one you own is in fact the one I picked up years ago, I remember it had a repair as yours seems to have? Hey, just for kicks, what does it weigh?
*(edit, I just notice you said "had").
Scott:
When i sold it off, it went all the way back east, to New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, if i can remember that far back.
I'm sure that's why it probably showed up on the east coast.
It did change hands a few times back east.
P.S.
Your PM box is full, i tried to answer your message, but my reply wouldn't go through.

Yes Bill I have, (been looking into it for a couple years now). Guess what? It's almost a certain loser concerning payback, but I am determined to see it through, sounds nutty huh?
My kinda guy.
Have you tried any of the parts hoarder/sellers, or the guys with lotsa OLD MoPar performance stuff, Dave Wren, Ben Snobar etc?
I have a possibility up here I will try, I know I've seen a couple- maybe several sets of the more common MW manifolds in his garage, and I'll see him this weekend most likely.
The factory product was pretty danged cool, tough to beat for the "wow" factor for sure.

In a way I agree, but these things are so rare they are almost mythical, most have never seen them, nor will they ever see any. I think they deserve to be revived. Keep in mind that to the best of my knowledge they were a part that never quite made it to production so they will remain a novelty add on to anything wearing them, there's a certain "fun" factor to that one.
Crazy.....Yes, I've tried Wren, he doesn't have any. I don't care to speak to Mr. Snobar, not even if he had the last set on the planet.

I totally agree
Used to be that seeing an E body with a shaker was like seeing a nice set of natural DD's. You stopped and took notice. Now, just like the repop shakers every other woman you see is sporting a big rack. They lost their WOW factor.

I was lucky enough to see a 64 Plymouth with a set installed at one of the Mopar shows at Quaker City years ago.
Truly a engineering marvel when you see a set installed in person.

Definately a cool project and good luck to you Scott.
The ones you saw at Quaker City Raceway years ago are the sames ones in the picture above. The picture was taken at QCR.

That's true, but you still look, and sometimes stare.

DD's are still going to get my attention regardless of how many I see 
Shaker Hood..... not so much.

I tried everybody I could, I know the manifolds are rare, but I didn't know they were THAT rare.  Hope you find some .........
