whats up with these manifolds?

[Fran Blacker]

Rusty Gold. Basket of Snakes a guy called them, he was a few years older than me and work at a dealer. He only saw pics of them.

Last I heard, a cracked one-side-only was $5k, an uncracked pair was $15k.
There were inner fender mods, even to max cars, to be able to use them.
I believe there is ONE car on the planet actually running, using a pair.

I have seen pictures of a Red '64 Polara 500 hardtop with a set on a Max Wedge. I believe the car has been up for sale. I wondered if it was a made up car, because Maxxie's rarely got ordered in top of the line (heavy) Polara 500. But it has the special passenger side inner fender to clear the manifold. This would be hard to reproduce, but not impossible, if you have the $$$.

Yes, took those pics in '23 at Carlisle.

Yep the guys name is Al. I forget his last name but I sold him an Nos set of 71 GTX tail light bezels for a 71 he has... Anyway I think he paid 15K for those manifolds OR had another set and was trying to sell...

I don't think they trusted the exhaust port bolts, to the heads, so they added the braces on each one, to keep them in place ? I know what my MW manifolds weigh, I can only guess what these go each, along with the heat sink !!!

I believe that there only 8 to 10 sets ever produced. 4 into 2 into 1collectors with removable end caps, where the collector branched to the factory exhaust piping. Several years ago at a Mopar only car show, (North Hills Chrysler-Plymouth) in the Pittsburgh Pa area, I saw an original 426 Max wedge car with these cast iron headers, complete with the bracing arms back to the intake manifold. The car was a 1964 Plymoith sedan, diarrhea brown color, 2 door post car and a torque flite trans...with ~ 850 miles (1/4 mile at a time) on it and owned by a US AIRWAYS pilot....car was in the dealership show room in a very prominent location.....never heard it run.....VERY IMPRESSIVE......often wondered what happened to the car...????.... If one was going to reproduce an authentic number's matching vehicle, these headers would be $1000s .......simply OUTSTANDING......

These are so super cool, but seem like a contradiction regarding speed - when speed meant big engines and lightening up the load!
