I have a hooker header I'd like to get rid of. It seems this might be the place to do it...

It came off an E88 head, I don't remember what year the car was, but it was a 240 or 260. It's got surface rust, but nothing serious, from sitting. Other than looking scuzzy, it is in good shape.

Haven't seen any advertised except for new ones for $220+, so I'm asking $100 + shipping within the continental US.

I'll try to post pics, but if you are interested, e-mail me and I'll send a bunch.

Thanks-

Tony P.

Wow, I have not seen Hooker header for the Z advertised and now this one and the one at the following link on eBay which I just saw last night. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33631&item=2432528746

Aww, boogers! Now I'll have to wait and see how much that one goes for. :tapemouth

Oh, well. It is a nice one, though. But then again, it is new.

Thanks for the info.

Tony,

Did you ever post pictures of the header?

oh, I guess I should find out if it's still for sale?

Thanks!

Hey!-

It is still for sale. Pics are in the photo gallery under 'opelbits':http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=998&thumb=1&si=opelbits

Hooker made a header for the Z? Is it still in their catalogue?

Tony,

Other than the rust, what kind of condition are they in? Any holes, pits, or damage? OR would I just need to blast and sand them?

Thanks

No holes or pits that I have found. It's pretty much the usual tubular header surface rust. A good bead blasting and repaint and they'd look pretty decent.

The car that they came off of had a really bad intermediate pipe that connected to both flanges with a cheesy attempt at merging the two pipes. It was so bad that it probably negated any benefit the headers would would give.
