Re: 69 Z28 Sold for $112,000
 

Same seller sold a Crossram Z at one of the Auctions last year for big bucks that I think was the edelbrock with the name ground off. It had the fuel lines on the outside of the carbs but fooled most auction bidders. I'm sure every Z28 he sells from now on will have a crossram and it will be non GM.

Charlie,

You are 100% correct. The carbs were new Holley production, and the manifold was also aftermarket.

Dollar value was not the issue on this car. The issue was the big $$$ pissing contest that these guys got into. Egos ruled on the block on this sale.

Otherwise it was perhaps a good mid $40K car.

Then again so was the yellow Hemi (318) clone that sold last year for $130+. Go figure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I have an Offenhauser SB Chevy crossram, it cannot be mistaken for the factory type because the carbs mount side by side instead of offset front to back, and it is cast in just one piece. I think that you need to start with an Edelbrock crossram to make a good fake factory crossram.

Offy makes the both the side-by-side and the staggered 'factory' version.

i agree, that deal was offered to me when i was going to take a car there last year, i kindly refused and didn't like them trying to force me into a low reserve. i will never, repeat never register or buy a car from BJ.

i've looked on both offenhauser and eldebrock websites looking for the crossram intakes and never seen any? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
