1969 302 DZ Carb in Excellent Condition

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Looks like someone spray painted it gold!!

Perhaps someone cleaned it up - it's been in storage for 5 years and I've never touched it before.

Will drop to $499 before going to ebay.

Am guessing someone hit it with something like Eastwood's "carb renew". Linkage, screws and the like sholdn't be gold. Still, looks to be mostly all there, but will need to be gone through and recolored correctly.

Good luck with the sale.

Agreed on all counts Lynn. That's why I posted the extensive photos (and later dropped the price). It actually appears to be in good working condition, but I wouldn't put it on my car without a good rebuild. BTW, thanks for taking the high road in your description of what you saw happening to the carb, unlike the previous guy who felt like a one-liner was called for. I appreciate it.

Hey M G,
The only reason i said what i said earlier is because you stated that it was restored at one time and that the coloring was in excellent condition with the overspray everywhere.It still a nice complete carb.

Doesn't look restored, just a cheap kit installed (note the inferior, non-original, type needle and seat assemblies installed in the fuel bowls).
