I don't mind seeing some of them on a stand. Don't use them all up now because there will be none left for later!

 

My contributions....just intakes, nothing better....yet

For my 8BA..


..and for my T roadster...

 

I think that Schnell is a rare one....

 

My favorite, and mine. In that order.

 

Heres the best i own. 327 +.030

 

You could say that

As far as I know, this is only 1 of 2 original surviving examples. These were built here locally and from the research I have done, maybe 6 to 10 were cast around 1951 or '52. Of those, only mine and another in Vancouver are known to survive. When my A-V8 is built, it will be the only one installed on a running car.

The original company that made them still has the patterns and offers them as a special order only retro intake.

My Grandfather bought this one new

Here it is on his '29 A-V8 in 1952:

 

Talk about a vacation retreat..id thro a blanket on the floor and called it HOME...........................YG

 

Boy its stuff like this that gets the heart really pumping Far Out

 

is that schnell auto on lombard?

 

Yes it is. These intakes were made by Bill Schnell Sr. His sons Bill Jr. and Tim run the business now and still have the original patterns. They said Bill Sr. "didn't make more then a hand full of them originally, maybe 6 to 10".

 

I want more ****!!

 

My 354. It has a volume knob that goes up to 11.
