does anybody know if the dealer installed oai is different from the 54 that came off the assembly line. I have a fiberglass oai system is this aftermarket ??

 

Yes fiberglass OAI was made by someone in the aftermarket business.I believe a guy named Dr.Oldmobile was making them for a while and yes that's without a s in the name.

 

Correct, all that

 

That's what I thought , thank you . I just inherited this car trying to figure out what's been done to it.

 

Cool post pics we want to see it

 

Yes, pics please. Haven't seen one of the fiberglass ones!

 

these are from a few years ago

 

a complete tri power intake set in a box

 

Wow. Very nice.
What are you asking for the tri power set-up?
Randy, I like you new sig pic! Very cool.

 

its on ebay I don't know how to link it to this

 

It's on ebay at 2,025.00 has not met reserve. First glance looks great. But lots of pics but neglects important details, claims to have an original fuel bowl but cann't prove it by his pic he listed. Also carbs held in place with nuts and studs instead of bolts and some odd carb tags.

Ah yes, December 30th, just another Thursday late 1965, except casting a run of 3-carb intakes today.

 

This is all stuff I inherited , I have been going off what so called experts are telling me and notes left to me. I can take more pictures for people if they want . I am leaving it for people to make there own judgement call . Otherwise I will just keep it and eventually use it sometime

 

I don't think the one you refer to is the one he has posted.

 

I would like to put an L-69 set up
on the 69 F-1 blk. 455 I built for the 69,
in the vert w/my GNX 2004R I need to build.
4 wheel disc brakes...

I do that, maybe one day
I can do the power tour.

 

Take some more time to think about it, I'm refering to the very same one that axle74 posted the pic of. Look and you'll see the pic in the box on the ebay offering.

Oops, my appologies, there is another one that looks almost identical that is not in a box..........

 

I am not trying to defraud anybody, I really don't know what this stuff is as I said before I am going off of notes left to me and others who have looked at some of the parts. I figured somebody could use the stuff but it might be easier to just trash all of it

 

I will gladly pay to have it shipped to me if you decide to trash it.............

 

So someone was making the air cleaner hat assembly aftermarket? I'd be interested in one of those.

 

This was listed today, opening bid seems very fair:

EDIT: I bet someone who needs this stuff loses their nerve and buys it for $5500. Heads, manifolds, pulleys, etc, the parts really add up.

 

Spoke to that guy when he had it on Craigslist, the saddest part is he had the fuel filter with it and said he threw it out

 

"....Filter" rang a bell. Nice oil filter too, think I have *ONE* of those, only one I ever had new, found at a garage sale years ago.

 

Someone must have made
him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Bidding ended without reserve
being met at $2025.
