Looks like restamp of ink for the part #

Seriously, though... ebay sellers are funny. I was looking for a 1964 AMT scale model kit and saw this one with starting price of $20 for an empty box. And no, wasn't the same seller as above. If they could, they'd sell the air from the best seating area of famous sports stadium that no longer exist.

Does the seller write the winning bidder's address on that box to ship it or is that box put into another box and if so, how rare is that outer box ?

So what are the bets on how long it will be before seeing a "new in box" tri-power manifold for sale?

Was thinking the same!!

Also he has lots of parts listed, and by trying to sell a BOX hes getting free advertising for his other stuff!!

What's the saying...any publicity..even bad...is good

I tried emailing him to ask a question, and apparently his mailbox is so inundated with emails that it wouldn't accept mine!

This guy is watching too many Antique Road Show programs, where the box increases the value of the item.

I can't believe you guys... after all it is a used GM Factory Empty Box that originally back 36 Years ago housed a 1967 Corvette Aluminum High Rise Factory Tri-Power 3x2 Intake manifold for a Big Block.

c'mon man... put out the ca$h.
