Cobra Intake Manifold Upper and Lower w/65mm Motorsports T-Body $325

I realize the TB isn't needed but it'd be nice to have for later down the road.


325 seems a bit steep to me for used intake and TB, what do you think?

Yea that does seem kind of expensive. But, the throttle body is like 200 dollars alone. If it was me, I'd spend some extra money and just get an aftermarket manifold or find a better deal.

Is it an original Cobra or a replica? Original I would think that would be close to the ballpark, offer up $250. I just picked mine up for $200 with a TB.

FYI, I just checked my e-bay account and the last replica cobra intake that sold went for $270 + $35 shipping without the TB.

That's really pricey, I got my Cobra upper/lower for $175 shipped, and it's a 94/95 model which is a pain to find, you can do much better. Now if it's a real/original cobra, then $250 would a good price.

If it makes you feel any better, I sold an original cobra upper paired with an explorer lower for 350 last week. Things are worth what someone is willing to pay.

The upper was nice, and not very easily found compared to the Chinese sh*t one that is currently sold. I explained it this way. The new copy sells for $365 just about everywhere, so aren't FORD parts worth around the same (possibly more)
if in good shape?
