Asking $1000 usd looks to be complete  , not sure what it's worth so send offers

Date code is 5A2  air horn number is 4118S
Over the counter I believe

Thank you for contacting Holley Performance. The Carb is from a 68 Ford Shelby 289 HIPO. It is a 725 CFM Vacuum Secondary 4150 Model.

Thanks

I don't believe that carb ever came "from" or on a 68 GT350 from the factory . It is however a replacement carb for a 68 GT350. The 5A2 date code most likely indicates a 1975 or 85 date code. FYI Holly's credibility comes into question given the reference to a 68 Ford Shelby 289 Hipo which never existed in a regular production 68 Shelby.

I buy the early ones for $175, later ones for $125.

Good carbs, add lemans bowls and they are the same calibration and look as a 3259-1
I have seen some sell for $250ish if in great condition.

Really wish Holley made more 700ish sized carbs, they work great.
