Ford Intake # C6AE-9425-C

[Rare Iron]

I just looked up as much as I could about this on Google & found out some basics, but not the value of it. My bro-in-law has this intake he has had for many years & he had it on a drag boat with a Ford 427. I believe it comes with the carb(s). I have an E-mail back in to him to see if it is a dual quad setup. He said the style of the manifold is where it goes partially under the valve covers.

Anybody know any specifics on this & it's value? He wants to sell it & is trying to determine the value.

Rare iron FE forum is the better place. There you can get everything from year, size of ports, engine ran on, what it fits. Rick L. IF oem and in good shape with carbs and linkage guessing about $1,000.00 if in real good shape and the carbs are not played with and have the correct stamps and plates on them. Could be higher or lower on price. Min would be $500.00. Rick L.

Thanks, -Eric

I don't see a listing for "C6AE-9425-C" but I do see one for a "C6AE-9425-G". It's a cast iron single 4 barrel that fits 66/67 390s and plain Jane "station Wagon"428s, nothing special. Very little, if any value. Pics will tell the tale. There wasn't anything in the listing series for a 427.

Undy, I Googled it & some specific info came up. Here's what I found so far: C = 60's, 6 = 1966, A = full size, E = engine, 9425 = part #, C = 3rd. version. I still don't have a clue to it's value. If he runs it on E-Bay, shipping would be a problem because of it's weight. Also, if the right people aren't looking, you won't get a fair bid. If he puts it on Craigslist, he's got to put a price. I realize this is no BOSS 429 part, but I'd hate to tell him it's only worth a couple hundred bucks if it's worth 750.

Mick, don't worry - I've owned some pretty nice Fords, not just Mopes! The Mach 1's are some of my dream cars & I've had a few.

Here's another. All original paint one I bought off a used car lot in Phoenix in 1985:

Post it on Ebay, with a $2000 reserve, and see where it goes. If it's worth anything, the weight won't matter. There will be enough people loooking, more than if on Craig's.

It dosent realy matter what its worth......its what someone will pay for it.
i have seen time and time again where someone thinks a part is worth $500.
bucks but no one will pay that much for it so it sits on a shelf till they die
and the $500. buck part gets sold at auction for $30. bucks...........
seen that happen more than once........

So what would you do? Research it first or put it on Craigslist for $50.00?

Neither. Post it on Ebay, start bidding at $1, with a $2000 reserve, and see where it goes.

[rustyBob]

I would do just what Anthony has suggested.........
start the bid at $1. with a reserve of $2k.......

I guess i didnt make my point clear enough.......

the "whats it worth "price is always higher than the "what you'll actually get for it " price

Since I am not the only one who can't find the part number...

Is the intake cast iron, aluminum, or magnesium?

Is it a Low Riser, Medium Riser, High Riser, or Tunnel Port?

If the intake is an NOS magnesium then $$$$, if it is a crusty iron intake, then it is not worth shipping. Of course, aluminum is somewhere in between.

Although this particular part # is not listed in the chart in the link below it does have a good cross reference for other manifolds in that era

It's cast iron - I do know that. As far as other details, I don't know. I gotta have my bro-in-law E-mail some photos if he can get them to me. He said the intake & carb were on his old drag boat many years ago - a 427.

[Fordzilla]

This is a long shot but the drag boat wasn't a 427 hemi was it? There were a few drag boats fitted with a Ford 427 Hemi (pushrod hemi, not a SOHC). Mickey Thompson made the heads from Chrysler hemi heads to fit 427 FE.

That would have been aluminum and probably without a Ford #. The fact that he knows it is a cast iron intake indicates it is a bread and butter intake manifold. There was NO factory 427 Intake that was cast iron and any marine engine would have had a J code instead of an A. I would venture that unless someone is needing a casting # correct intake for a restoration and has to have a specific date code( which isn't known), I'd say it's maybe a $50 intake. IF it has a date code that can't be found in the 100,000 produced and laying around it may be worth more...to someone. Shipping around the corner on that would cost more than $50. If it had been stated in the OP that it was cast iron the thread would have ended in maybe 4-5 posts.

[undy]

Then perhaps the "C" code is a mis-read or poorly casted "G" code as earlier mentioned. The "G" is a run-o-the-mill cast iron 390/428 intake. It would be fine on a 66 or 67 galaxie restoration. It's poop for performance though.
