The auctions I originally noted were by two different e-bay sellers. Not sure if they are the same person or not...
Does however seem very odd when such "rare" carbs started to appear on e-Bay from these two accounts back in the late Spring, Both accounts were listing them in close proximity (time wise) to each other, & "both" sellers are out of FL. (prob just a coincidence). The very 1st auctions from these two had spray can dye jobs from H#ll...looked like the whole carb had been painted with WallyWorld gold paint. Had to be just another coincidence [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
On the last two auctions which Colorado Goat mentions these do appear to be original Q-jets for the application noted. One, the Carter manufactered one appears to have been bought off e-Bay earlier. The other is def an original '73 T/A 4spd carb, as I have an NOS condition one this exact # to compare with e-Bay pics of one offered.
As the seller (4spd kid) was tipped of this post at around 8:00 EST this morning, he has had more than enough time to amend yesterdays beginning auction & put another low profit margin, easy to find, carb on e-Bay. Nice tactic... hope they sell...
