"Because it is a part carried by produced one of them in 20.I am very rare."

Give me a break! Somebody should just offer the guy $200. and see what he does. What's to lose?

WOW - I was shivering when I parted with 2K to buy an AMC Edelbrock crossram. 23K will buy you a nice car today.

I am willing to bet that he will not get any bids at all on everything he has listed. Unless he has a shill bidder help him out. This person is genuinely confused or he simply put the wrong conversion factor in when converting yen to American dollars.

I asked him why his price is so high.
He replied he would send me a free tutorial videotape explaining why.

He has Chevy by Numbers sitting there so I looked it up. I do know what the 3885069 manifold is, there's one on my car. This intake has 3886093 on it too which CbN's says is a slight redesign of the 069 and used with '67 L88 Corvettes (unverified). I'm still not sure why he seems to be implying there is only 1 of these made. Ask him to send the video. I would love to see why I should pay $23,000.00 for a $300-400.00 intake. I just hope the video is in English.

I think the seller is trying to say (in his answers to the questions in the auction) that it came off of one of the actual production '67 L88 Corvettes. How he can prove that I do not know. I guess the video explains it...
