Record price for a Holley carb...

YIKES, I'm a millionaire, I have hundreds of them!

That is CRAZY!!!

Just goes to show how far this car sickness can get out of hand



Good for the seller. The buyer obviuosly thought it was worth it.

Regards Mark (wishing I had me a few of them carbs myself )

Now there's a person with way to much money.

I would assume Mr 69 blue Hemi owns a Boss 429 that is missing the oem carb. Sure he payed bunches for the carb, but just think how much more valuable that '69 Boss is with the correct carb sitting atop the motor. I say good for him, glad he's got his carb.

your friend on the DTBB, who turned down an opportunity to buy a Boss 429 for $4000 in 1976.

Yup, I made the correct choice too. Pantera vs. Boss9. I'm not worried cause my Pantera original carb is worth $50.

A really nice B9 car is going for $275k to north of $300k now. Having correct parts like the carb/distributor/export brace/snorkle/trunk moiunted battery and caps, etc seperates the good cars from the great cars. BTW, 4 years ago, a really nice B9 would have gone for ~$125k, good market correction. Take care

I picked the Pantera vs. the "9". Good choice huh?

I bet that carburator was milled from a solid gold bullion bar. I bet all the moving parts have diamond bearings in there. I bet that is why it went for so much.

AH now I gotta go out to the garage and check the #'s on the pile of Holleys with an inch of dust on them. LOL

Coz your right way too much money. LOL

DT a carb like that would only be worth a couple of bucks.
