THESE CAME BACK UP FOR SALE. THE CUSTOMER DECIDED TO BUY OUR STAINLESS PIPES INSTEAD.

These are pictures of prototype 427 S/C head tubes. These head tubes are not completely welded and will need some tweaking and welding to finish them up. Tubes are made from mild steel.

Retail $1,000.
Today $250.
$200

Please see the below description.

Below:

Left head tubes. Notice the "hole" between head tube #5 and #6. That is where the steering shaft goes through the pipes on the original car. The #5 tube is to the right in the below photo.


The #5 tube is to the left in the below photo.



#7 and #8 are do not have the flanges welded to the tube. They are only tacked into place.


#7 only has the tube tacked together. It is not welded together.


The flange on #7 is 3/16-1/4" of an inch away from the flange. The tube will have to be stretched and tweaked to fit.


The following 2 pictures are of the right side. The right side head tubes are quite short--just like an original car.
