Has any company made a reproduction air cleaner in the past for a 69 Ram Air IV Firebird ? This is the second one that JOPARTS has had for sale on Ebay in the last few months . The first one he said was a repro off his personal car that he replaced with an original one and the second one he also says is from his personal car too. Could they maybe be both repro's and the next Ram air aircleaner that The Parts Place is reproducing ? EBAY # 220281077625

JOPARTS is Joe from The Parts Place. As I figure it, he is trying to gage the quality of the part, while trying to sell the part for maximum money. But, as I seen from past repro parts, it will be mediocre at best.

IF he is selling an original, His repro is likely right around the corner. He also sold a couple of real 69 T/A hoods right before his repros were intoduced to the public. The tendency is to panic if you are holding on to real deal original parts when a reproduction is introduced. However, we all know that the repros are NEVER exact and originals will always be the preferred piece if afforable. Also, IF this RAIV pan on ebay is a real one, he will not let it go for any less than $2500.00 minimum! Real ones are extremely rare and valuable!
