These are not quite as rare as some might think.   Priced aggressively,  he will probably have a nice wall hanger for a while.   Looks aluminum, not mag.  

I bought a spare top plate a couple of years ago as that is the most vulnerable part.    If you get a lot of fuel pooled in there on cold cranking,  you can crack the top plate with a backfire.

It's aluminum.
Appears there was a core shift and one port
may not seal.  It would have to be welded and
then ground out to the correct size.
Missing lower oil shield.

A nice, complete, unmodified piece is worth
about $1,500. As Doug stated, these aren't all that
rare.

It just looks "Rare".

Lovely piece of Mopar history, but at $3000 not for me lol...

I got a nice Indy intake which is the re-designed cross-ram for the 20th Century!

Not as wide and much taller to 'iron-out' the crossram's inner problems...

They say its worth 50 horsepower over the originals!!!

Me I will take 40 all day long, thats 5 horses per cylinder( I think?)

They also have the Modman too.

Indy has some nice stuff going on.

That's very true Kurt.

I have both the Indy manifolds and they is well trick...

Loving the power wagon story you have!
Nearly 50 years of ownership is truly remarkable indeed.

I met a guy at the Spring Fling in a 68 Charger.
He had owned it from new and by 2004 had done 400,000 miles on the original engine!

It had been out for a re-ring and bearings (I believe) but was running fine...

His ambition was to get to 'half a million miles' before he has to 'meet his God'...

I'm looking at a Indy Aluminum block and heads for my 2nd generation Hemi I'm putting in my Daytona clone.
And I already talked to them about using one of their Mod Man intakes to adapt over to a Whipple supercharger.

Thank's for the nice comments on my truck.
Yeah. I'm not that patient with engines to keep one going that long. 
I usually change them out around 140,000- 150,000 miles. I'm on my 5th engine now. Always going after MORE horsepower. 
And I'm kinda hard on my engines.
