Here I hold the most rarest of the rare!

Recently I was given a lead by fellow FTE member, Vegas123, on some flat 6 speed parts. Him and I purchased both intakes. He kept the Nicson and I kept the other, an Edmunds, with the carbs and linkage. Then, he forwarded me a lead for an aluminum Knudsen head.

The weekend before I met with a guy at my house that bought a few parts for his 51. He told me that he's looking for speed parts for the flat 6 in his 51. Once I had the intake in my hands, I gave him a call and we struck a deal. He had the intake the same day. I then offered up the head to him and he wants it. Hoping to meet him this weekend.

All proceeds are being recycled into my 51 Panel project.

I wish I had a flat 6 because these speed parts are rarer than hen's teeth.

Enjoy!

Very, very nice score! I've always heard these things existed, but had never seen any until now!

So now Ray will have that wistful look in his eyes for the next week. Thanks Panelman for giving unrealistic hopes to some here with your uncensored display. What's next, some magic for the bottom end?

Wow, Those parts are dead sexy!

Thanks for posting the pics of them.

I just acquired a Packard flathead straight 8, I'd love to find some speed parts for it. They exist, but are very pricey

Speedway Motors will buy rare speed parts for their American Museum of Speed collection. They will not make an offer however will entertain your asking price. Realize tho, what is rare to the average person they may already have dozens of in their huge collection.

Sorry, Dick, but the intake was sold the same day I got it and the head was pre-sold before I got my hands on it. The total selling price wasn't cheap.
