High 69 Z-28 cross ram prices coming to an end??

You're right on the money Charley... Repro stuff is always different than original, and good original parts will always command the real money... will there be a select guy here or there that unknowingly pays "real car" prices for put-together stuff and repro parts? Sure, but that doesnt mean when something comes out as a reproduction that the originals have suddenly lost their value... if anything, the "real-deal" stuff becomes even more sought after, when people grow tired of looking at the incorrect repro stuff... good observation on the exhaust manifolds too... i have a repro set on my Deuce that leak like a seive, and make contact on the engine block everywhere BUT the flange...I think Marlin is dealing with the same PITA as we speak... show me a pair of original ones with good smog holes (even PITTED original ones!) for 400.00 or less and I will show you a buyer. (me!)
PS... i'll also show you someone with a set of "exact" repros for sale very cheap too...
