i agree j. i have one original, and one i restored. both signed by the man himself. half tempted to sell one.
thats awesome. i ve never seen an orange one. that one sure looks original to me. pretty cool. just goes to show you that u learn something new every day.
the supercharger looks pretty rough. i see they lowered the buy it now price down to 2500.00. that s still more than i paid for mine and its n.o.s. also.
i have a buddy who has a mr. norms six pack set up on his cuda. he bought an 80 something ram with a 318 in it. he popped the hood and there was the whole schi-bang.

No mine is not for sale, I know what they are worth.
The air filter that was with mine was orange on the sealing surfaces like the old fram filters used to be.
I used to have an old hot rod or popular hotrodding from the 80's.
They had an article on Mr. Norms and one of the pictures was orange air cleaner on one of his cars. There was even a mention of the aircleaner in the article.
ive got two of the air cleaner sets and try to sell one at tne nats for 275.00 and came home with it huhhhhhhhh

If you still have the article, or remember the month/year/title I'd like to know so I can look for it.
As for the orange air cleaner, it looks original to me but I have never seen one of a GSS (I've only seen less than ten ORIGINAL 71 GSS cars though).
I have two of the air cleaners that are natural and two that are black wrinkle finished. Segal made them and they were after market pieces so I imagine they came in a few different colors. They were made for Corvettes.
I kept it copy of the magazine for a long time.
I had it and a bunch of magazines stored in a closet that I did not use.
Well the upstairs drain on the bath tub leaked slowly over a period time before I noticed it and ruined all of the magazines.
The car was on the cover with the hood up, it was a blue demon / duster with a black top if I remember correctly.
It was in Popular hotrodding, Car Craft or Hot Rod. I just cannot remember which one.

Here's an article I got out of a Jan. 1971 issue Super Stock Magazine of Mr.Norms. Thought maybe you guys would enjoy. Hope they come out OK,I had to scan and resize them.

awesome. i was thinking about that article the other day. i started digging around for it and found something else that caught my attention. wonder what color that car was in the article. kinda struck me as plum crazy, or maybe a green metallic. built a model car clone of that car once. made it plum crazy. makes you wonder where all these things are now. wonder how many GSS cars we ve seen and never known it. i still look for the butcher hole on the core support on every 72 demon i see. OCD i guess

Are these made of aluminum? what thickness?
Kind of thinking about making a one off piece.

Just a thought here, but do you want people thinking there's an abundance of these air cleaners out there if they all flood the market at once? If that second one listed was mine, I'd hold off a month or so.
