If if it is an NOS carb it would still require a full rebuild.  You could buy a period correct unit from Drew for probably just over a third the asking ready to go.
4K is ridiculous money.

For some, NOS is the only thing that will do.

There are plenty of people with more money than common sense. It won't be NOS if they are going to use it. No carb sits more than a few years before the gaskets are dried out which necessitates a complete overhaul.

The carb has a "S" stamping under the "3259" stamping.  I have not seen before.  Does anyone know what the "S" means.  Maybe Service part?

Also, can some post an image of the carb?  I am not able to do from my work computer.

Thanks

Dried out gaskets that need to be replaced are more of a problem for a carb that has been run on a engine allowing the gaskets to be gas soaked IMO. I do not think that is a problem for a NOS carb sitting on a a shelf. The gaskets will no more degrade then ones sitting in a rebuild kit box sitting on a shelf waiting to be used.

If date is important isn't this one too late for 67 GT350 production?
