Speaking of WCFB carbs, I once had a dual WCFB setup with factory aluminum intake for the 1957 Corvette (270 HP). I traded it for something - I can't even remember for what - but it would now be worth a fortune (almost) if I still had it.
Way back when, they weren't worth what things like that are worth now. I really don't remember what it was I traded for, but I know I wish I had the 2x4 setup back and could sell them at today's prices.
The same could be said (with emphasis) about a lot of the cars and parts I have gone through over the years.
Wish I had one of each now.
I know what you mean! When i finally got around to buying a car when I was 21, I had a choice between a 57 T Bird, 62 Vett, or a 240Z. I picked the Z because it was $500 cheaper then the other two. $500 was a lot of difference back then! Wish I had one of each now.
Along with a three bay garage.
:eeek: :faint: A rice rocket over those other two?! :doh:

500 bucks was 500 bucks back then! I couldn't beg, barrow or still it, no getting around it.
Thus goes the old saying......"It may burn rice, but PAID FOR is nice"
They say living with regrets is character building....
Find me a car guy that doesn't have some
I would steal to get away from driving rice.
In the long run. it worked out just right. The Z was fun to drive and as I learned, any monkey can work on a V8, it takes a real mechanic to work on those straight 6s! Served me well on the WWII iron.
