I have a set of exhaust manifolds. A guy wants to buy them. What would be a good selling price?

Okay, I'll step up and question the obvious: What year are the manifolds? What condition are they? How bad do you want to sell them? How bad does your perspective buyer want them?

kubes They are from a '41 Ford. They are in good condition. No cracks, gasket surfaces are smooth and straight. The buyer is a friend and he needs them for his '41 restoration. Neither of us have any idea what might be a fair price so I turned to the Discussion. Neither of us want to screw the other.

Joe, these are the kinds of things that make or break a friendship. Tell your friend they are worth BBQ ribs and beer at his house. Don't put a $ sign on such a small transaction between friends. Alan

I guess this is why I'll never be rich. I agree with ford38v8, if he is a friend, charge him what you paid for them. Friends don't make money off of friends. If I have a part and a friend needs it, he can have it!

I agree with the last 3 posts. I think what they are saying is that these manifolds are not that rare. I see them at swap meets for around $10 to $15 each [good ones].

Joe, I tend to agree with the others that have weighed in here. Your manifolds are slightly less common than the later (42 - 48) type but being used, yeah, fair is in the $25 to $35 a pair range. I kind of like the idea of dinner and a beer or three.:)

Thanks guys. I want MONEY...MONEY!!! Just kidding. We agreed to one hour of free labor when I have the next problem with my '41. Just had no clue as to the value. Why I like this site-always lot's of good comments!
