This has been sitting on my buddy's shelf since he took it off his 67 Camaro back in the 70's.. thought I'd share a few pictures. I've never seen another one.

Go broke doing so. Just a handful of people will actually buy these. The rest will want them super cheap. A guy on FB had the screw on Holley bowl repo'd. CNC machined. 100% actual of the originals . Wanted $80 set.. I think he ended up just selling 10-15 sets and had a huge amount of money outlayed to have hundreds made up.

Here is what I posted some years back. "I seriously checked into having these scoops made from my green NOS NP scoop. For starters the plexiglass was 1/4 thick (but when vacuum formed went to 3/16)and several companies that I contacted that could vacuum form this thickness wanted something like $300-350 each and that was not covering the material which is very expensive in 1/4 form. They also wanted to do something like 75-100 minimum because these companies do 500-2000 vf's per day and did not want to stop their lines.


$400 fixed cost times 100 = $40,000 outlay. Like the old saying "Get Woke, Go broke"

The prices qouted was back in 2002??

at $500-550-600 each I bet you might sell 12-15 tops.

They are pretty cool and I’d love to find one. Any ideas of the cost one should expect to pay for an original? Thanks Rob

I would think $250-300 maybe $350-400 if someone really, really wanted one.

I will put his out there, I would pay $400 for a blue one or a green one.
