    I have an idea for a project I'm working on and I'm thinking a mid 60's air breather off a 401 or 425 single 4bbl might work.
    Doesn't need to be pristine, as its going to be modified.
    Looking for the style like I had on my old 65 GS or the one that was on my 66 Wildcat GS.
    These are the BIG diameter breathers on 4bbl cars.
    I'll post a couple of example pics of similar to what I'm looking for.
    Like I said, rough, rusty,crusty,etc.
    Not looking for a restored showpiece. I'm going to modify it, rather not destroy a good one that would work for someones restoration.
    Thanks
    Tom

    Hey Tom.... Go to BILL first, then if for some reason you dont put a deal together, keep in mind I have several big 60's air cleaners as well.

    Might I inquire if your project will be something for all to purchase in the future, or no?
