The dual-twin-Weber 40 DCOE carburetors demand expert tuning and synchronization for optimal performance.

Maintenance records, including specialist rebuild receipts for the engine and fuel systems, are essential for establishing value, with clean examples frequently crossing the $30k-$70k mark. For accurate valuation, consult resources like Hagerty and Bring a Trailer, as well as auction comparisons from RM Sotheby's and Bonhams.
