Did you sell the FI parts at Carlisle? If not, I may buy them.

Please tell me the prices you must have.

Thanks,

Jerry Bramlett

Just spoke to him............Everything sold at Carlisle...The fulie guys sucked it all up.

All that is left is a Mid Year TI Distb.. No number tag on the unit. He wants $300.00 for it.

From what I understand...the 3 different distb's sold for between $800-$900 .

They were all there but needed paint and cleaning. The 58 FI unit went for $1200.00. There was no distb or fuel blocks with it...just the dog house..air meter..and pump and intake.

908's are like gold. I have seen them go for $2000.
914's for $900-$1250
the unit , even missing parts should have brought $1500-1750.

What do think Jerry? Did he leave some $$ on the table?

It's hard to say, Jim.

I believe I saw these FI parts for sale at Carlisle. The 908 distributor had an asking price of $2,000. I think the FI unit was priced at $2,400 when I walked by Friday morning. I didn't make a lower offer on either because I was beat down by that time. I had made lower, but polite, offers on a few overpriced items during Thursday. The sellers had soundly rebuked me. I believe the phrase they were attempting to say was "no thanks", but it didn't actually come out that way.

Another guy had a pair of dirty, incomplete, and damaged '63 - '65 type units priced at $6,500 each without distributors or air cleaners. I didn't discuss price with him either.

The last '58 908 distributor I put on eBay sold for $980. Incomplete early FI units are hard to sell for anything other than parts, but I would have paid a little more than $1,200 for that one.
