Hubert Platt's old car, restored to 1969 condition!  This thing is cool...

Nice, as it is certainly a legendary car.

Here's the part I don't agree with: 

“That’s the only one ever made like that. You just can’t find a factory tunnel ram for a Cammer motor. That’s a factory Ford XE experimental tunnel ram intake.”

Rare, indeed but  the only one ever cast? That I doubt as even with XE parts, a few would have been poured for testing and even to cover for flawed castings that had to be pitched. More like a 1/2 dozen were cast. But, it's entirely possible it is the only one left after all these years.

Edelbrock actually cast up a tunnel ram intake for the SOHC too, also very rare, but I agree that it would be unusual for any foundry to cast up just one of anything...
