Does anybody know the value of this intake?

I bought this for 100 bucks recently from a ford/chevy guy that had no idea what it was. I knew it was a poly intake, and after doing some research it seems like it's rare. Its a vintage weiand wpd40

2 years ago I bought a Edelbrock p 600 3 deuce intake and 3 Holley 2 bbls for $ 300.00 2 weeks later I saw the same set up on C/L for $ 1400.00 I guess I was in the right place at the right time. I think your manifold should bring @ $ 500.00 +

For all those guys doing performance poly builds.... ???? Even if its rare, there needs to be buyerS to make it valuable. The simple answer is that it's worth what someone will pay for it. Right now, I'd say $100 is the most current number.

I sold that exact same intake on Ebay last year for $500.00. It went to Canada.

Back when the 7503 intakes were getting scarce because they just went out of production, I saw an intake like this go for $800 - and it needed some repair work. A good one went for $1100. But then, I also saw people spend $550 for crappy Spitfire headers, too.

Currently, it's hard to say since a new Air Gap intake is on the market with great potential. My recommendation to you is if you truly want to get top dollar, make sure all the carb bosses have good threads, if not helicoil the bad ones, and hot tank it to clean it up (usually pretty cheap, if you have a friend, a six pack). Want even more? Spend about 9 bucks on new fittings and install them, you can make that back easily because people hate chasing down the new fittings. It's crazy what people will pay, but I would expect to see at least five bills for it as it sits. JMHO

Well I'm in my Senior year of high school, and I'm in an advanced auto class. We have a hot tank and everything imaginable to restore this intake! All the threads on the intake are in really good shape without any helicoils So i guess I should restore it and then sell it complete.

you will definitely get a better price for it if it is free from all paint, gaskets, oil, etc. People are funny that way... it only takes about $15-30 to hot tank it, but people will pay $50-150 more because they won't have to deal with it. That one that needed welding repair... $800 and it needed at least $300 to repair it. I got mine as part of a trade, so I only had about $180 into my intake, but I traded a pristine factory cast iron intake that the guy wanted for a 57 restoration project, so I lucked out, mine is in great shape. Good luck!

I'm with you 65RoadRacer, A swap meet guy had 3 identical Torker 383 intakes. I paid a extra $50 for the clean unpainted one.I'm lazy and loose interest when it comes to cleaning parts.
