so holley still sells them ![]() [/ QUOTE ] They do but not the original style that was a 4" tube all the way to the turn-out with mount straps welded to them. The ones Motion pictured above are built more along the Junior version (though not exact) that Cyclone built because the original Hornie was, well, pretty damned throaty ![]() Once you broke the originals in, and yes, they were loud (loud being a relative term. I prefer to say they had a very distinct and authoritative pitch ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Wow, I had those Purple Hornies on my '70 Nova that was running a stout running Big Block. My dad made me shut it off two blocks from the house and coast into the driveway after 10pm, that was every night.. Good Luck!

Probably the next best thing to open headers (I didn't realize it "back in the day", but it was a good time growing up in small town Ohio). Here's a grainy pic of my COPO in it's hot rod days. You can just see the PH's underneath. A BB with PH's was a very melodious combo. ![]() ![]() |

No one I knew had Purple Hornies back in the day. We all went for Cherry Bombs. And Thrush was the super low budge, uncool last resort.....
