its new, (without the original box) its not a reman. it looks new and still has the bar code on the uppercasting as well as no corrosion or rust so I guess you would consider it NOS (new old stock) , sorry no pics just wondering what its worth and some information on it. not really sure if I want to sell it yet
 
Need photos....not only for condition but to see it if has the emission solenoids and vac fittings...

I bought a NOS 78 Thermoquad (Lil Red Express 360) last year at the Portland Swap Meet...$150.00

There was another there...a reman 1977 400 auto carb for $100 I should have bought as well...

I don't have pictures at the moment and well if I sold it I know I wouldn't let it go for no $100 by any means!, when I bought it I paid alot more then that for it!
 
I really dont know what they are worth...depends on the number and date code for application...if someone is looking for a correct restoration.
The guy selling the 78 one I bought didn't know what it was for..I passed on it initially to check the numbers..went back the next day and bought it.
Looking back I should have bought the Reman one too from another guy..

Here's a pic of a 71 340 TQ I rebuilt/detailed....

being that its not a reman should mean that its worth abit more right? since reman TQ's don't always work that great.

my TQ looks just about as good as the one pictured above
