Should I get Triple Mikunis and is this a fair price? 2,500$USD

[Auston]

I have the chance to get a set of Triple Mikuni for 2,500 this coming week. I talked to someone at Road Atl about them and how rare they were. I tried to price check online, but I couldn't find any for sale. 

Is this a good deal?

I would say a max of 300$-500$ a carb in that condition.  That looks to be a mikuni intake which is worth another 300-500.

It's all about what you are willing to pay. That price isn't far off a set in good shape, as determined by internals more than dust on the outside.

A lot of patina can show up on a carb that's mint where it counts...

The 40's seem to go for less money

@Patcon44? I believe

there were 4 completed ads on Ebay searching by "Datsun Mikuni". The similar 44's brought like $2200 without the air filters but included the intake. So not an unreasonable number provided they aren't too varnished up

Look at my previous post
