Within the last six months, I have seen 2.0 ones sell for anywhere between $280 and $700 on EBAY. I bought a set earlier this year for $300.

NEW flapper valves alone will set back 100-150, not uncluding the J-tubes & related plumbing. Stainless exchangers will cost you at least what mine did in '76 - $250. They don't depreciate.

You may get lucky on Ebay, but I'd bet you're in for at least $500, without the intermediary plumbing - which is getting even harder to find. Expensive, but you have to have it!

HOOyah! the parts all look fairly new. i am waiting for a set of plain exhaust pipes to arrive(florida car,don't need no stinkin' heat). then i will remove,clean and photograph all i have.
my goal is to finance a set of fiberglass flares.

Yeah, I may have been a little high, but my most recent check on PP showed these guys at $80 each! Where did your $30 come from - I'll buy all I can get at that price!
