Custom top..... go on.
Pictures?
If the bottom section is complete and unmodified, i would say its worth between $500 and $1000, or better yet, what someone is willing to pay

That's what I've been told and been offered
$2,500 for it but I still dont know much
About it so I'm not selling yet
How do u put a pic up on
Here? They changed it so the throttles are
On each side instead of one.

When people say they are worth thousands, it is normally the complete package; rocker covers, fuel rails, airbox etc etc etc.
On its own it may be a good manifold in its own right, or decent parts for someone looking to rebuild/restore an original group A.
If you are looking to sell it and have been offered $2500, jump on it, as that seems really high for what it is.

saw a base and a top sell seperatly on ebay a while ago both went for around the $1200 each as the guys above said I would jump at $2500.
Id be keen on it but not at $2500 feel free to Pm me if that offer falls through and your keen to sell

Original packages go for that price. Your one is not going to have anywhere near the appeal of an original one.

10-01-13, 10:04 GMT+10#13 Custom is what u don't want when t comes to something as rare as these manifolds. Every time people look at it they will think fake...
Like I told you. For 3k you just about in the price range for genuine Walky manifold of you know where to look.
Did u he pics of the throttles to see if they are genuine?
We're not being rude, it just is what it is.

10-01-13, 11:03 GMT+10#15 No one is going to pay good coin for this, not over $3000. You may get a good price for the lower half but most people would look at the top section and think it is an abortion. Unless you have some paperwork proving it is a more efficient unit than the original, you will find it hard to move.
If you got offered $2,500 for it I would take it. You will find it hard to sell that top half.

Of throttles. Take plenum iff and take photos of runners. It should just bolt off.
Custom plenum won't make it any better performance wise.

custom doesnt always mean good, and usually it means costs more, but worth less.
This is 'custom':

10-01-13, 12:22 GMT+10#19 My vote is, judging by the Greddy sticker on the front its just something some spanner knocked together in his shed in Ballarat after downing a 6 pack of Real McCoys.
