Cleaning out my parents garage and I have a completely stock upper & lower intake. (although, I did paint the upper black). Is it worth trying to sell it or should I just take it to a metal recycling place?

Im keeping some of that type of stuff. I am kinda looking at it as maybe in 15-20 years they will be sought after parts for people doing oem restorations on fox bodies. That day will come i think, I hope so atleast!!

Strip the paint and polish it, then sell it on ebay. People would probably pay a pretty penny for it if it was polished.

Although I have hung onto a stock OEM intake just to have....doesn't hurt that it's polished either.

I am polishing mine and going to ebay it when I am done. I have seen polished ones go for about 100. not bad for a stock piece of garbage.

Very very true. While few like those wheels, they are priceless to collectors, or restorers.

I don't have time or patience to polish it. I could try to sell it but the shipping on eBay makes it almost not worth it. Thx for the input. I'mma see how much I can get from the metal scrap guy for it.
