Is that Nelson Rudsil selling the Cowl Plen on Ebay?

Not sure, but I did email this eBay seller with a question and he responded stating his name is Bill. I asked if he knew of anyone who had an original 67 plenum as I have a friend that needs one for his 67 Z and the reply from this seller stated the following;

I know of someone who is reproducing the 67 cowl plenum and that it is also being sold as NOS since the quality of reproduction is 99% perfect. He further added that the price was 2500.00 if I was interested and said he could get me the manufactures phone number if I required it.

I replied last night asking for the # and thanking him in advance and his next email stated this:

I can broker a deal. My fee is 15%

I passed on the deal as I don't like being strung out by someone I don't know. I say this because my friend is still looking for an original or repro 67 plenum assembly. He has a beautiful 68 plenum that I am sure he'd part with if I could source a 67 piece fir him.

Do any of you know where a 67 plenum can be found or who repro's this part? I understand the 68 base has a recessed portion in the lower bowl and the 67 does not. Any help is appreciated.

Zedder??? Anyone? Please chime in.

Nelson Rudisill has personally started reproducing the Cowl Plenum Air Cleaner as of 2002 for the Chevelle,but I believe he has included the Camaro as of recent.
He was featured in the Nov/Dec. 2003 of A.C.E.S. Chevelle World magazine showcasing his work.He really went the extra mile in capturing the original design,but uses Carbon Fiber material on the duct.I can send you pix of this Magazine issue if you like.
Contact Nelson Rudisill at:

Phone # 828-874-2335 6-9:30PM EST.
I believe his prices are around $2000.00 or less.

Thank you for that info Rick. I will pass it along to my friend who I am sure will follow it up in short order.

Mister Copo: I have never seen a '67 repro plenum, only a '68. I currently have only one real '67 set-up, so I am not interested in selling it. Because of the rarity of the '67 set-up, many guys simply modify the '68 unit. Any competent bodyman can do it and it will not be detectable. That is the route I would go if you friend has a '68 unit.
