This is perhaps the rarest of all Pontiac production 4Bbl carbs (yes, more difficult to find than a RAII, RAIII, or even RAIV carb). Expect to pay $5k plus just for a good carb (which doesn't come up for sale very often).
Realistic value on a numbers matching '68 Firebird RA 4spd conv. in #1 condition would be somewhere between $100-$200k. They simply don't come up for sale in this sort of condition (color, options, condition of course are key).

I agree with John on the values of a ra 1 engine. The 1968 277 Ram Air carburetor price will be higher than a 68-70 273 carb . The heads will be slightly cheaper than the 96 round ports, and so will the exhaust manifolds and distributor but the prices have been climbing on these d port Ra 1 parts.
