I agree. Just how anal would you have to be to pay $2,500 for a paper air filter no one is going to see. My wife thinks I’m crazy for what I fork over for parts. . Wait ‘til she sees what these morons are paying.

She will think I am sane after all.:rofl:rofl

J.C. !!!! I just noticed it hasn't even made the RESERVE YET

They'll see that one. The 57 Corvette FI aircleaner was open element.... just a round lid over this filter on a round base. Easily spotted as repro in NCRS judging. You can bet that the bidders are Corvette guys.
