Ebay if you are lucky. Other than that, they are expensive.

The words "shaker" and "cheap" are mutually exclusive:P

WHAAAAA???? Dunno where you heard this....

Mine cost $2900 for an excellent condition original shaker, seal, base assembly, snorkel....

I bought an original Ford template for $200 and have made several copies and sold them... (like the size of a massive poster) So if anyones looking for that template I can sell you a copy...

The repop ones tend to be fiberglass instead of metal.. cheaper, and easier to break, even if just by torqueing your engine a bit.... same goes for ones off newer mustangs.

Swap meets are about the only real place aside from ebay to find them.

I dunno, at $2900 you could buy 5 repop shakers at $550 a piece and still be ahead of the game.

'enough said.

Fiberglass, cheaper, and, yes, you said it... REPOP. Its exactly like comparing new sheetmetal or ANY part repop to NOS original... even fordramair.com are fiberglass base assembly... but to each their own. Good luck finding an original at a swap meet for that.

Thats what mine is... off a 69 with the rare snorkel... so THAT one, sold for $2400 on ebay, which is generally known for being a bargain kind of place, being that it is bidding. I got mine at the Columbus Ohio All Ford Swap Meet.

And then THIS one has been beaten to ****, is rough and STILL sold quickly with the buy it now for $1500... prolly wouldve auctioned at 1900 or so.
