Looks very similar to a 1970-73 Z/28 air cleaner but doesn't match exactly...

That one on eBay is a repop. The originals had flat lids (no ridge) in the air filter area. They also had the forming wrinkles in the dizzy area.

The one in this thread is an original 70-72 Z assembly.

Also, the one on eBay doesn't have the clearance for the Holley float adjustment screws. It wouldn't even bolt on a Holley equipped car.

The one on ebay does not look like a large 14x3 Z/28 air cleaner. I don't think it's a repop. Looks more like a early-70s vette air cleaner that uses the smaller 10-11" filter element.

You are correct. i spoke too soon in my post and ASSumed the creator eBay auction knew what he was selling.
