Reproduction 68-70 340 Exhaust Manifolds in stock at Vans Auto

Now if somebody with the know-how and contacts to do it would reproduce the Orange 340 pie tins and sell them at a fair price!

That has already been mentioned. I'm surprised no one has reproduced them yet.

Originals are always worth more

I agree 100%.

@HemiSSDart posted a couple years ago that Classic Industries owns the right to repop the pie tins.
They're probably waiting until they see prices for those available now approach the stratosphere on Ebay. Then they'll have all you want at $699 each.

That would be a deal as most are selling for a grand nowadays. Kim

Depending on condition.

In the 70s I bought the Hemi grind small block cam for $37.50. Front pipes to manifolds for approximately $60.00 for the pair, tail pipes for $24.00 for the pair and a pair of tips for like &40.00.

But why? I can still remember someone asking if my side view mirror was original or reproduced. When I said repop, he just shook his head and said "too bad". I asked why too bad, and he let me know that the repops didn't have casting numbers and pentastar underneath... Like someone would take the mirrors off the car to determine originality. That was my turn to just shake my head.

Yep. I bought one for my Road Runner from Mancini Racing around 1981. Under $20. I let it go with the car when I sold it. The original is on my garage wall.

When they were still available a few years ago, I bought two red 340 tins. Jegs had them and nobody else did. A little later, I put one up for Leanna's benefit auction. It brought $150. I'm keeping the other in case I want to replace my dinged up original. I don't know, it's not too bad and has character.

The more dings the better in my book but that's my MO and budget lol.

I would rather a nice original part instead of a perfect reproduction, but i think most guys would rather remove the old part and replace with a new one. It doesn't bother me at all to use new parts if i don't have originals.
i do like new things...but i like them better when they get old.

That what I paid for mind in 89'. Also MOPAR built, not China.
