What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
I have a vintage Weiand aluminum Tri-Power intake my dad used to run in the 60's on a 283 or 327 on a 56 Chevy. It's got the carbs and linkages and they are old and need reconditioning of course and cleaning up but it's in great shape. What's this worth? I was thinking of asking $450. Am I in the ball park?

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
By checking ebay I run across tri powers from the 50-60s with carbs from 200 all the way up to 1500.00 . The ones that run the numbers to get exact manufacture dates on intake and carbs were bringing the most.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Being aftermarket affects the value
Having all the linkage helps. I would think 350 or so

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
what type of carbs affects values of vintage tri power most popular stromberg 97 followed by holley 94's rochester 2cg being the least desirable of the three
alot also depends if they are properly coverterted for tripower use many vintage systems i see they just bolted on 3regular carbs with out doing the conversions and they would work tho not as good as the correct converted systems post pics

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Here's a few pics. A guy offered my $350 so far. I'll likely take it unless someone else offers me more. I have it listed at $450.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO I SOLD A WINTERS FOUNDRY (FACTORY GM) TRI-POWER SET UP COMPLETE WITH LINKAGE & THREE HOLLY 2 BARELLS THAT WERE NOTHING MORE THAN REBUILDABLE CORES FOR $850 ON EBAY. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT MAYBE IT'LL GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF WHAT YOUR'S IS WORTH. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR FINACIAL SITUATION, BUT I WOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO HOLD OUT FOR $450 OR $500.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Thanks. What's the easiest way to identify what brand of carbs?

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
I am certainly no expert but they sort of look like rochesters. There is no linkage on the center carb for the accelerator pump by the looks of it. Local guy has a set up on craigs list for $650 with supposedly rebuilt rochesters. I think he had it listed previously for $1500. It's for earlier small blocks with the oil fill/vent tube.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
I say in this economy if I can walk away with $350 won't be too bad.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
The two end carbs don't have chokes, so that's a positive sign toward it being a decent setup.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Kind of weird looking carbs. Look like they might be Zenith carbs. I would think you should get 4-500 dollars for it.

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Well, it took about 4 hours to get the $350 offer; so we'll see what it brings locally. I told the guy I'd let him know...

Re: What's it worth?--Tri Power Intake
Tri-powers can be crazy in value to the right person. I bought a 66 lemans that some guy was trying to turn into a GTO clone. He told me he had a GTO tri-power that he would through into the deal. Bought the car, 4 speed, 389 and tri-power w/ carbs for 2K. Even after disclosing in the ebay listing that the manifold was cracked in the center, I got $1,300 bucks for that thing and about crapped me pants!!!
