Congratulations, that was a fair process and a fair winning bid.

Thanks Greg I appreciate that comment.   

Noooooooo

Why do you mean nooooooooooooooo....    It was an auction.

The auction is over.   The winning bid was $1725.   Thanks to all who participated.

I have a bid of $1725

I just edited my auction rules post so be sure to check it out.  Thanks.

Everyone I have just received a bid of $1700.

Should be on their website.  I just ordered a voltage regulator from them about a week ago so I know the phone worked then.

Ok everyone I have a bid of $1000. 

I agree Randy....thats why I'm putting it on here.

Good morning guys.  I wanted to tell all of you that are interested in the intake manifold I have that I have decided I to sell it.  I was trying to come up with a fair way to give you all an equal shot at it.   I think it deserves to go to an enthusiast that has one of the cars. 

The method I have come up with should be fair to all.   I will set a time frame that will end 1 week from today at noon time (12PM) Monday May 17th.   I would like for those interested to send me a private msg with their bid.   What I will do is post a public response here what the highest bid is but will not revel any names.  If you would like to make a higher bid just send me a pvt msg and I will again post what the highest bid is publicly so you all will know.   I will do this until 12PM noon time on Monday May 17th.   At that time I will stop taking bids and let the high bidder know hes got the intake and we can arrange for payment and shipping.  I would think $30 for shipping would be pretty fair...its large and kinda heavy.     I hope this is satisfactory and fair to all of you.    Good luck to all.   

It's been brought to light I need to have a minimum bid increase for this to move along smoothly.  So I'm putting in a minimum increase of $25 over the last public announcement of a bid figure.  We'll see how that goes. Thanks. 

Something else has been brought to light.  Last minute bids.  So to be fair to all any bids within the last 2 minutes will reset the clock to 2 minutes...just like BaT.   You'll have to put up with me posting the bid amount on here so give me a bit of leeway but I will be fair to all.   Thanks very much. 

I had heard about Jim's passing earlier this year and was very shocked to hear that sad news.  I was lucky enough to know Jim as he worked on my car after I bought it in the late 2000's.  I subsequently spoke with and purchased parts from Jim.  He was always very helpful and friendly to me which I much appreciated.  I was also lucky enough to get to meet Jim and spend some time with him at the MCA convention celebrating the Mustang's 40th Anniversary in Nashville.  I'm sad that Jim isn't with us anymore but my memories of him will live on forever.   RIP Jim

You know something I didn't think to ask was what is the meaning of  AW L stamped on the bottom casting boss on this intake?  Thanks

Seems like Bring A Trailer ( BAT ) has done a nice job lately with the Shelby's lately. You might want to discuss speaking with them on how to list it with a reserve you feel comfortable with and then letting those who really want it to pay what they feel it's worth. No different than 2 guys in a room at an auction house and they both want something.This then takes the "who to sell it to" out of the equation and it's on a public forum for anyone to bid-

You know that might be a good idea.  I'm checking with BaT if the listing price is the same for parts as it is for vehicles.  There are some other options out there...of course Epay...offer up...etc.   We'll see if about it if I decide to sell it.

Good morning gentlemen.  I feel compelled to send a message to everyone because I never dreamed I would have stirred up so much interest with this post.  It seems this is in very big demand.  At this point I'm not sure what I want to do with it.  And if I did put it up for sale I'm not sure right now how to give everyone a fair shot at it.  I'm open to suggestions on that.   It would be nice to know it would be used on a car in the correct number range but really that is immaterial if am to sell it.   Anyway I do really appreciate everyone's feedback on this.  There are soooooo many very knowledgeable people on here!!!

+1 to everything Randy said.

That is the rarest S2Ms intake version. According to the 66 intake survey thread only 8 people reported having this as the original intake on their cars, the earliest reported is in the late 200's and the latest in the mid 500's. I id's this style as version 66.1  The first reported next version, 66.2 is in the early 900's. Please let me know if you know which car this came from, it would be very helpful to add to the survey data.

Page 3 of the survey thread has a chart showing the version distribution to this point: https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=4353.30

Thanks,

Hi Dave
Thanks for the great info about this manifold.  I'm sorry I can't provide you with more info on what car it came from.  I would have purchased this many years ago when I had my 66.  Not sure actually what made me buy it other than it was in great shape.  Maybe a backup for my car but my car was numbered in the 2300's very late in the production run.  I'll check out the link you sent.  Thanks for posting this message.
