The ones pictured are rare, but since not many hardtop SS Hemi cars exist, the correct usage of them is limited and therfore so is the value. Rare does not always equal valuable. Cool Yes.
Sorry Tom, But I beg to differ here.
Slant six Chargers are rare and UNdesirable
Super stock factory headers are rare AND desirable
Even if every A990 car was accounted for and all had the proper exhaust, there will be some who will just want them for what they represent.

If you read it agian alittle closer, just the 64 HEMI SS HARDTOPS use those pipes, no 65 cars and no lightweight cars. I know of 3 total, but I'm sure afew more exist.
I do see your point, someone will buy them because of what they are, even if they don't have the car. they are cool to look at and certainly a piece of history.

I think what is pretty amazing is even though these pipes are extremely rare, between the set the OP owns, the ones Jim V. has and the ones I know about(and are only a few miles from my shop), we manage to come up with 3 known sets in this little discussion. How many can really be kicking around??

Can i add my to this posting about these superstock headers? The ones that are in the pictures are the real deal. They are factory pieces, true and true. I never heard of "reproduction" headers for those cars that might have been made back in the 1980's, but i don't know everything, and will admit to that. Having said that, let me show you a picture of the system that i own. I have had these parts in my collection for probably 30 years. They have become my "coat rack" in the apartment during the winter months, so they are serving a purpose now anyway for me. I also have the factory headers for this system but they are too far buried in the parts to easily get out to take pictures. The pipes are welded into the flange, so i have no idea what the other poster is flapping his gums about. Since these thing are so rare, i place a value on them on the higher side of $5,000.00 easily.
...WOW, is that a set of 300 exhaust hiding back there!! I made a big mistake back when the Nat's were @ Indy. There was a set of those for ~700 and I passed.

I can personally attest to Jim having the coolest coat rack ever. The one and only time I was at his place, it was like a religious experience for the Mopar faithful. :-)

These are also placed with NOS intermediate pipes, NOS crossover pipe, NOS mufflers, and NOS tailpipes. Please note that this dual exhaust setup is for the 64 HEMI HARDTOPS.

Wow. Nice set up that you have there Tom. The pictures even look a lot better when i blew them up to full size of my computer screen. Where in the world did you ever come across a new old set?
