bunch of HO 1969 parts:
D heads- Used to be $5000 pair, more like $2000 nowadays
HO intake - yeah, right [EXCEEDINGLY scarce]. Get the exact casting number. J-398662 $100 or two; J-405233: several thousand dollars probably.
manifolds - repro's are $300-400 a set so unless PERFECT, maybe 300
distributer - exact number and date matter greatly. I will guesstimate as much as $1000 for the ultimate one.
complete motor minus the carb and aircleaner,
motor spins free and needs a rebuid as he drove it everyday and stacked up the miles.
Red paint on motor is still visible and chrome on covers is flaking..
============
With D heads? 5k maybe?
OH trans, and the posi rear end out of the car
==============
Not sure but there's an OH trans that is NOT Hurst/Olds- maybe it's 1968. Ck the VIN stamp, maybe the h/o owner is looking for trans and engine.
and the original hurst shifter and cover - I'll guess hundreds with the cable and everything.
five chrome and silver HO 15" wheels - Several hundred
spoiler and hood scoop... - several hundred $
glove box lid with HO emblem - a few bucks, maybe 100 or 200
broken HO scoop with markings, and also another complete oem scoop that he had found - a few more hundred.

That's quite a stockpile
I'm glad to see at least that much got saved.
Those intakes are not easy to find.
Hey can I borrow that intake for a few days?
It'll come back blasted clean to bare cast iron.

Carburator

Ilooked at your posting a EBAY. You showthe carb.and give the number as 7029254 That is not the right carb. for the 69 ho the the carb they use on all 69 HO's is 7029251 a very comon carb. Here is the good news the 7029254 carb is for a 400 W30 ram air car a much more valuable carburator. I hope thishelps you out

carb.
What probably happen is the original owner had touble with his original carb. So the dealer put a replacement carb. on the car. They never look at the number. what ever carb. they get in they put on. Thats what happened to my car, my replacement carb. is for a 69 400 4 speed car 7029253. Both our carbs. are much rarer than the 7029251.

Can you re-ck that carb?
in the pic above, I saw, and still see, "29251 RJ..."
I have seen a few '9254 carbs, but every one has always been
7029254
with none at all
29254
Whereas among the '9251 carbs I have seen, most by far were
7029251
with a few [like 2 or three seen anywhere, ever] with the shorter
29251
How do the dates line up?
I'd like to see the date codes from
Block
Heads
Intake
Water pump
exhaust manifolds
etc.

Cameo is correct. That's a correct carb for an H/O. And it being correct means it's actually more valuable to the package than a 254 carb would be, if that makes any sense. Cuz then u'd have to ditch the 254 and find a 251.
