Where'd you get it and how much?
I have the standard individual chrome top air cleaners
on my set up, but,
a ram air would be nice if I could afford it.

No problem.
All it takes is bucks.
Hopefully, the price of the repro isn't quite as insane as an original.
Saw one go for $6,000 on ebay several years ago.

I'll ask again. Who's repopping those or is that original?

Trip, weren't the originals chrome? I know the 54 66's were numbered,
and chromed, but the 67's? Someone in the know will chime in hopefully.
I'm betting the one Chris has is a repop.

They were all chrome as far as I know including the 67's but they wouldn't be Tri-Carbs. I'd love to have a 66 one for sure.

x2 - all of the originals for 66 & 67 were chrome.

But - we all want to know where that repop came from??????????

It's one of a very limited number of Dr. Oldmobile's reproductions.

Note in your web search that there is no "s" in "Dr. Oldmobile"

The tooling still exists, but production has ceased. If I had the time I would get the tooling and continue production. Kickstarter campaign?

It was a lot less coin than a real one, for sure.

Came via a friend of a friend kind of deal.

I saw some 67 that had a pie plate on an OAI. I am pretty sure that is incorrect.

At work we buy 100's of fiberglass fan housings

I wonder with the tooling I could have the same guys produce the shrouds?

Filler work when not busy with other things, once in a while.

Problem is, limited market. Maybe a couple dozen units at the most. Even if dirt cheap, which they are not.
