Not sure if Mopar Preformance still carries them or not, but you used to be able to the whole package from them (with an aluminum intake). I would start there to see what they are currently going for.
If memory serves correctly the cast iron manifold was only used fron the introduction in 69 1/2 to the introduction of the 70 models when it was switched to aluminum.
Someone doing a "correct" restoration on a 69 1/2 car might be really intrested in it, but your average rodder will likely want the weigth savings of aluminum.
Another big point is insuring the carbs have NOT been screwed with. THe Mopar 6 Pac was vacume operated on the outboard carbs, and worked pretty well when dialed in. I have seen too many amatures ruin a set of prefectly good carbs by trying to make them "better".
The only true way to tell what it's worth is to throuw it up for sale (like on E Bay) and see what someone is willing to give you for it.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
