More from my parts stash. These are crusty around a couple of the edges and there's a small hole (not shown) in one of the tin pieces. I have no way of testing them at the moment. With the availability of new stuff these days is there any value (other than "historical interest") in cleaning up and doing any necessary repairs on these original parts? I don't want to waste time on them if it makes more sense to replace them.

Those have some value. Price a set of headers!

Those look repairable! Pressure test the tubes. An air compressor, or even a water hose with a soap solution. Stock header / heat exchangers work very well... even for up to a basic level 3.0 six. Those look better than the set I have which came with my factory 6.

@MB911 Ben has made much worse look good again.

I just bought a set from perry that are worse and I will be fixing. For reference my headers have jumped to $2200 a set and that is no heat. To fix those it's probably in the 1k range.

Yes- worth repairing and saving.
