What's a 1971 340 four speed Thermoquad worth

[Neal Zimmerman]

I hope this doesn't get me into trouble somehow, but what is this thing worth? I was going to run it on my 68 Cuda with 340 , but I have decided against it. I'm going to
stick it on Ebay, but I don't know what to ask for it. Its complete , and linkage moves just fine. Being a four speed carb I think MAYBE it had a dashpot (??) , I don't know but there's not one on there now. I have not opened it up to peer around inside. This isn't an ad, don't ask to buy it, its going on ebay.

Needing nothing but a rebuild $750+. Rebuilt it's 750-1200 for a show piece. My two cents worth having bought a few.

What's the number on it?

I just looked at a 4972S 71 Thermoquad looked new with a solenoid that he was asking $1500...

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Collectors piece for a numbers matching collector car. Very sought after . Those $1500 carbs were near mint. a nice one with an I don't know whats inside description $300-$700 if you find the right 2 bidders. Put it on with a reserve and let the bidding begin. post a link to the auction so we can watch. Take a picture of the inners ,If its nice it will bring a lot more money.

Is there no picture available?

For a S/S or Stock class racer?....good money.

 

[Mtrhead]

The only way to get top dollar is to send it to get restored from scott harms...js...then it's a collectors piece...I bought one for $325 and could barely get it sold for $450 about a year ago because I knew nothing about it's condition...core

If you have this solenoid, which is a one year only, I've been told go from $300 to $500 ? Apparently used on 440 six pack cars as well. Probably the reason for the crazy asking price. I paid $295 for my 4972s thermoquad. After the $500 plus resto it's closer to $900. Maybe this might help.

 

[Neal Zimmerman]

Yes the number is 4972 s. I got it off a craigslist add for a ton of various carbs .All sorts. Got it for 15 dollars. Wish I had known more because I could have looked in the Thermoquad bins for that Solenoid. I still have the guys number, maybe I will go back and look around.

Those are some crazy prices, I just paid $175. for a '72 340 T-quad. Would be interesting to see if you can sell it for that kind of money. For me, it's a you want to keep it price.

Big difference between a 71 340 TQ and 72 up TQ.

 

[MMissile]

Not in performance. They all make nice race carbs.

 

[CRUZE 418]

Well, that's still a crazy price, part #. Guess that I shouldn't have sold the carb and intake from my '71 Demon for for $25. back then. Oh well, I get the next guy.

Not in performance. They all make nice race carbs.

... and street carbs.

Just be careful, you post here that you have this carb and don't know what it's worth. I can bet someone will contact you behind the scenes and try to buy it. You might sell it for a lot less than it's worth.

 

[MMissile]

I offered....as a core. It'll cost 500^ to get it right, for class/drag racing or show-poodle. I have 2500 in my Competition-Series, 1000cfm.

 

[Neal Zimmerman]

Yeah after having it all restored I wouldn't really make that much. I think its just gonna be man cave wall art.
