The last complete set on BAT did $8600. The seller of that set bought them from me for $3500 and spent $2k on refurb. The 2nd highest bidder then told me my NOS set was only worth $4k so they went back on the shelf.

That is wild. Or maybe it's the price of something so rare, for a rare car. Can anyone think of a similar non-Datsun induction setup that commands a similar price?

Bob Chavis told you they were worth $4k?
Looks like now is the right time to sell your set!!!

You’d think after one did $8600 was the time, lol.

Look up a Cross Boss intake and autolite inline four barrel carburetor

Wow, looks really cool. I wonder how well it works. Regardless, it's a stand out item for sure!

Did a quick search... "difficult to tune," "not the most power producing system option", "very rare," "major cool factor" sums it up...

They also made a few manifolds that ran two of the autolite inline 4 barrel carbs. I have seen and handled one of the carbs back when I was in college. Very cool and esoteric.
