Rare Sharp C82 Chevy 216 235 261 Stovebolt Inline 6 Dual Carb Intake Manifold

🔥 RARE VINTAGE SHARP C82 — CHEVY STOVEBOLT INLINE-6 DUAL CARB INTAKE MANIFOLD 🔥 Here's a piece of California hot rod history hiding in plain sight. The Sharp C82 is one of the more elusive vintage performance intakes ever produced for Chevrolet's beloved Stovebolt inline-six family — a genuine period piece from the golden age of American hot rodding, not a repro, not a cast-off from an unknown source. If you know what this casting is, you already know why it matters. FEATURES & DETAILS ✅ Authentic Sharp C82 cast aluminum intake manifold ✅ Correct "C82" casting mark — confirmed and visible ✅ Dual carburetor (2x1) configuration — period-correct hot rod setup ✅ Traditional finned cast aluminum construction ✅ Genuine vintage speed equipment — not a reproduction ✅ Original unpolished, unblasted surface — honest age and patina intact KNOWN FITMENT & APPLICATIONS Designed for Chevrolet inline-6 "Stovebolt" engines: Chevy 216ci — 1937–1953 Chevy 235ci — 1941–1962 Chevy 261ci — 1954–1962 (trucks) Commonly used with dual Rochester or Stromberg single-barrel carburetors in traditional 2x1 configurations. A natural fit for period-correct hot rods, custom trucks, traditional builds, inline-six performance projects, and serious automobilia or garage display collections. Additional applications beyond those listed may exist — buyers are responsible for confirming fitment. CONDITION Vintage used condition with honest age patina consistent with long-term storage. Surfaces are unpolished and unmodified — exactly as found. No cracks or structural repairs were observed during inspection; however, this manifold has not been pressure tested or installed and is sold on that basis. Review all photos carefully — they are part of the description and show the exact piece you will receive. BACKGROUND This manifold came out of a recent buyout from a longtime car collector and hot rod builder who spent decades assembling a serious collection and is now downsizing. Additional vintage speed equipment, classic car parts, and automobilia from the same collection will be listed — worth checking back. BUYER NOTES Sold AS-IS, no returns.
