Wasn't going to post these until the auction was over, but after we all balked at the $560 that the last ebay set brought, I thought these were worthy of a bowl of popcorn...already north of $600 with 2 days left. They are nice, but wow...spendy. w~~_12.JPG)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110661994949&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT I had mentioned in another thread that I picked up a nice Weiand set up, but that same week I also scored a set of extremely rare Edelbrock covers for an early Caddy that will (with adaptors) bolt to the 478" Caddy in Earl. Though they aren't Y-block related, I figured you might dig a quick picture Oh, yeah...they came back stateside, from SWEDEN!

Have been watching them as well. Irrational exuberance?

And somebody is probably going to try to disguise a scrub under them. They will pay the big bucks for bolt ons to hide their cheap motor.

I can't believe it. I had a guy email me after I posted on my WTB: ad wanting $600 for a set of 'nice' polished edelbrock valve covers. I think people are loosing their minds.

It just doesn't mean that much to me, I'll settle for a $200 set of Moon's.

Maybe Vic Jr should repop these instead of all the other sbc stuff.

I like the "No-name" Moons better anyway, besides Edelbrock isn't paying me to advertise for them anyway...

They are nice but I wonder how desirable they would be if the weren't so highly prized and sought after. I mean If they were in production again and you had a choice between a new edelbrock and a new new moon would people still pay the extra? There usually is an amount of competivness that make this stuff valuable.

Rather have the original set with the bird in the middle than any other set. Those are the best.

Missed a set over on the HAMB. This was about exactly what I was looking for:
Edelbrock Ad on the HAMB
I can polish and fix 'em up nice enough. I just need to not get caught napping on the job!

Ryan, you need to be on top of things. With Todd on the prowl no Edelbrock cover is safe.
