There's one on ebay right now and it's up to $9250, but still hasn't hit the reserve. Just curious what these are worth nowdays. Looks like a real nice piece, complete w/pulleys and all.
Youch, $9 grand and climbing... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Scot...ewItemQQcategoryZ34198QQitemZ4572678164QQrdZ1 That's some bigtime scratch. I'm kind of curious about the prices for other oddball blowers... McCulloghs, Lathams, Potvins, etc.
Italmecchanica. What application were these designed for originally? At these prices someone should begin manufacturing them again.
$5-$10K according to the lastest TRJ. "Italmecchanica. What application were these designed for originally?" All is revealed in the same issue. They made a bunch of sizes, the 4500cc one aimed squarely at the flathead. Italmecchanica came first and had design/durability issues. Was re jigged as SCoT where it seems all the problems were fixed. Today, either is worth a lot, as is a rebuild. I'm sure someone is making a little blower that looks kinda like a SCoT, can't think of it off the top of my head.
Jeeeeze!! A friend of mine picked one up last year with the flattie for a grand. He already knew is was worth a few bucks, but boy is he gonna be suprised!
You got what, 8 of them laying around, right Larry? Apparently I'm nobody because I wouldn't pay that much for one.
According to the article from the April 1952 Hotrod posted Squirrel this isn't a S.C.O.T.T. Italmechanica went out of business before Scott entered the picture. The Italmecchannica is typical of lots of Italian Engineering. Looks great. runs great, has reliability problems. The Scott is a reengineered version. This isn't clear in the auction listing. Is it still worth this kind of $$$? What is S.C.O.T.T. an acronym for? Thanks for posting that.
Yeah but you would have 20k in the set-up and evrybody would say it's not an original so they would try to give ya 500.00 for it.
No thanx...Ill stick with my 4-71. Besides, I could build half of my ride for the cost of that blower. Stuff that.... Rat
I have had several folks call asking to buy my blower in the last few weeks I think that there just aren't many out there for sale There are always going to be dealers that ask max$$$$$ for rare stuff
The blowers seem to be coming up really fast--just a couple of years ago they were a fraction of Ardun prices; Now they seem to be rapidly approaching equality...
The Frenzel blower is super rare with only a handful made;I know somebody that paid $7500. for one recently and was glad to get it.
I just picked up a SprintEX supercharger, supposed to fit a small block with throttle body. Looks just like the SCoT and it looks like an easy to adapt unit. I paid the big price of $275. for the unit but sometimes one must splurge.
and i wont pay 700 for a blower intake. haha, at this rate, ill never be one of the cool kids. yeah, im gonna say it. traditional and gold chain are merging. trey
It is back new seller no feedback ??????? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8006348645&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
Last time topped at $13,600.00 - Reserve not met. Orange CA Seems to be back, (same picture) but now it's in NC ?
same pic means its likey a scam. user just registered today too. you see these cloned auction alot with high end bike stuff. joker puts a buy-it-now on there thats cheaper than what it just sold for and hope someone bites and sends the $
I believe it is a scam that is why I posted that it was relisted. Early today I saw the new listing and noticed the Ardun heads in the background of the photo. I sent the seller an email asking if they were for sale also. Then I started wondering where did I see that picture before? It comes to me that just a few days back here on The H.A.M.B. as I was doing a search for info on Ardun heads. I get an email back from the guy offering to sell the whole package for just $7,200! But he would like to move it fast! (I bet he would!)
