Rare,yes but $3000 is an awful lot for a bare intake.I sold one a while back that was brand new but had the outside polished like chrome and I didn't get $3000 but you never know?Buddy Bar is casted into all of them(I think they did the castings for edelbrock) as far as I can tell anyway?There isn't a lot of info on these intakes.The one that I run on my Cuda has it also.Sorry to hear your selling it but good luck
