Other than the tab on the bottom of the Baffle, the repro Baffle & Shroud are very accurate. I saw a comparison several years ago of the very first repro baffle side-by-side with the original '67 the tooling was made from. Could not tell the difference.
This is an example of someone w/more money than common sense.
Nice parts for sure but no way worth $4550 IMO.
(BTW... there were some shill bids in this auction).

Scoops were not unique (had same part number as closed version).
Rare ones are those cast open w/unique part numbers. '67 Factory Ram Air Firebirds received the standard scoop which was machined open.
