Anyone have a "hook-up" at Holley/Hooker

I don't know if having the old part number might help -
This is from an eighties catalog

I had a black set (Hookers) on my '68 427 Corvette back in the late 70s. As I recall I paid a little over $200 for them. They're still tucked away in the attic of my garage but the collectors are rusted beyond repair. They lasted exactly 13 months! (But in their defense, I drove it in all kinds of weather; even snow.) Slide in mufflers are long gone too. I bought new collectors and thought about repairing them but never did get around to it.
Sure sounded sweet cruising about 60 MPH with a 3.70 gear.

The guy who lived behind me had a chrome set on his '75 Corvette but I'm certain they were NOT Hookers. Custom maybe? Who else made them at that time?

Dennis,

Remember the angry lookin woodpecker logo? Now, for the triva, guess what brand?

[ORIGLS6]

Clay Smith? I bought my '57 BelAir in '64 and there were decals filling both rear windows of the car. Each side had a huge Woodpecker. Wish they were still there!

Nope, wasn't Clay Smith.

Wasn't Mr. Horsepower? Honest Charley used a woodpecker on some of his decals too.

Clay Smith had the cigar butt. Thrush was a non-smoker

Ole Woody was a pretty popular bird and didn't remember he was used by Clay Smith, & of course I believe he may have been used by ole "Honest Charley" himself? Since sidepipes were the topic of discussion, I was thinking of something else? Man going back almost 40 years, things seem to get into a gray area. I did find what I was looking for, thought for a minute I was going to back up and apologize for being wrong?
