Where does this claim of the number of manifolds made being 13, come from? Anyone know? Sounds like pure undocumented speculation to me?

When you deduct the current retail price of the components included that means the seller wants over $17,000 for the manifold itself?

But it's one of 13.....
Did I read that right? Buy it now $19,995.00
Cool piece but that price tag seems to say really do not want to sell just show it off.

It is in a plexiglass display case after all.

OK but, they are the wrong carbs, the bellcrank is installed backwards, and the manifold has been modified from stock with the drilling for the nitrous.
A much more likely number for a minimum run would be 100. 13 makes no sense whatsoever.
The original manifolds are thin in critical areas such as the carb mounting flanges and the corners.
The value of that manifold would be as an historical piece and that would be for museum display.
I want a discount.
What's the difference between the Hall manifold and the "Detomaso Pantera" manifold? Was the "Detomaso Pantera" manifold manufactured by Detomaso?
De Tomaso designed and manufactured the De Tomaso version, circa 1972. Gary Hall later copied it.

This would be the way to plumb nitrous to it also.
The ga-zillion dollar manifold is really plumbed for vacuum and a vacuum gauge at that.
Gee-ze! A gazillion bucks. Who would have figured?
If one had the two manifolds side by side you can clearly see where the Hall manifold is thicker.
