I bought it. Paid more than I thought I would ever pay for an intake! I've never seen a Shelby cross ram! I've seen a Cobra duals cross ram, but, not a Shelby! The previous owner said he spoke with someone "in California" and supposedly they told him that maybe 25 were cast. It does say Baddy Bar on it also. Reportedly they also offered to purchase it when he was ready to part with it. Well we all know that and a dollar will get you a coffee! LOL :LOL:Quote:

Sounds like a neat piece. Wonder if Mickey Thompson had something to do with that project?
Just for fun you should put it up on ebay with a very high reserve and see what kind of bids you pull (though this isn't the best time of year for the most eyes). Relatively cheap and reliable appraisal service.
That would be Buddy Bar, I believe, an aluminum sandcasting company. What are you going to put it on?
Do you have any photo's of it???

Well, after seeing a picture it's nothing like the M/T stuff so answered my own question with a simple Google. Here's some cross talk from the SAAC forum: http://saacforum.com/index.php?actio...ge;topic=659.0
Very cool conversation piece. Imagine opening your hood saying it's just a stock 302!:3dSMILE::3dSMILE::3dSMILE:
Would you take $50 for it?? I could put it on my '31:toocool:
I did see an FE cross ram today, actually 2, one with a pair of Edelbrock Performers and the other bare. Didn't even ask the all important "How much" question either:LOL:
Sure the 50 bucks will be the down payment! :LOL: We can work out a monthly plan for the remainder! **)Quote:
