Awesome choice in a convertible.

Alas, I am a Pontiac guy, so I'm not that disappointed!

I went to a junkyard and asked a guy for any tripower stuff. He had a pretty rusty Olds intake with the end carbs and a few other pieces on it. Guess how much he wanted??? A thousand dollars. After checking with Oldsmobility I bought it, kept the carbs (same as Pontiac but reversed) and sold it for $950 to a 442 guy.
Evidently, this is a thousand dollar intake with parts to an Olds guy.
