I've been buying and rebuilding them and selling them on ebay for a while now. They are prized for restorations on the classic mustangs, and also because of all the hooplah put out by Pony Carbs.
One note: You might want to send an email to Pony Carbs and see if they sell the 'sleeves' for the 1.12 venturi 4100 models, making them a 'spreadbore.' That way you could buy one of the more common 1.12's, and the primaries would be smaller--1.00--but you'd have the big secondaries for those 'highschool moments.'
That would mean GREAT milage cruising around town, with neck snap accelleration. If you go that route, get one with the short 'snout'. Look at the carb from the throttle linkage side. There is a linkage arm which connects to the throttle. That is the accerator pump arm. They made those carbs with long and short housings. You want the one with the short accellerator pump housing, about 3/4" long.
Good luck.

The 1.08 venturi came on 289 v8 mustangs, fairlane, comets, falcons. They also put them on larger v8's for emissions reasons.
Holley carbs are much more common, and it would probably be easier to find parts other than what comes in the rebuild kits.
