Default Value of mid 60's Tri Power

Porsche guy here - selling a set of original tri-power I've had for 45 years. Was saving it for an old Hondo big block flatbottom but sold the boat. All I find for a reference to value are new repiicas. I can't post for sale without a price. They're in very good shape, just been sitting for "awhile" in my attic. They'll need rebuilding certainly --- what is a fair price ?

Without knowing for sure, what / where the casting numbers are - I took these pics from the primary carb.

Do you have the complete set-up, that is, the manifold, matching carbs, linkage, and fuel lines, or just the carbs?

The secondaries are both stamped 883 (if this is the date code info).

And all I have are the carburetors only.


Thanks for the help.

I would say those carbs in that condition and dated for a 68-69 car might be worth a grand
