tubular GT40 upper

Does any one know what a fair price for a tubular GT40 upper only would be?
I’m looking to buy one from a guy from corral, he states it’s in mint condition and he’s asking 350 for it. I now they don’t make them anymore, but how much did ford ask for it $. and did anyone hear if someone was going to remanufacture it like the cobras

If you already have an Explorer upper the tubular GT40 flows pretty much the same. Really there is almost no difference performance wise.


That being said the tubular GT40 looks much better :D

You can buy two Explorer intakes for the cost of a GT40.That does sem like a fair price,though.As stated above,they sell for over $400 on Ebay quite often.Or,be patient and keep looking.Eventually,someone will have one cheaper somewhere.

Thank you for your opinions I still haven’t made up my mind.
 I have a vacuum leak on mine that I can’t find I thought by rebuilding the motor it will go away and it did but slowly it came back. My suspensions are the upper might be cracked and when I repainted it before re-installing it I sealed temporary. But now it’s loud as it was before the rebuild.

Best of luck sounds like a good price just hope you fix the other stuff in the right order.
