Dated 533, or the 3rd week of March `65. This is a real-deal carb, no bullshit, no monkey business, no re-stamping.

This carb led a very neglected life before it came to me, and it does have a few minor scars to show for it. There is a little pitting on the primary throttle shaft operator, but I elected to re-use it rather than swap it out for a later style unit. The correct original early `65 shafts with the dog leg on the bottom are damn hard to find in good condition, so you don't toss them if they're still in serviceable shape. There is also some minor pitting on the tops of the metering blocks and on the top of the primary bowl. Lastly, there is some minor pitting in the secondary venturi area just behind the choke tower. Everything's visible in the pics.

I worked my ass off to make this one as nice as I could make it. The coloring on this one is excellent (if I may be so bold as to say so), but unfortunately my phone doesn't seem to be able to capture it.

There are similar carbs listed on eBay for $4700, and you never really know what you're going to get with one of them (there's one obvious re-stamp listed right now). You do with me.

I'm asking $4250.00 or a reasonable offer. PM's, emails or calls only please.
