Bassett Headers?

[oldschool]

Has anyone purchased a new set from Bassett lately? They have pricing on their website, which seem really good, but wondering if that’s current. I plan to call them Monday.

Jim left the business to his daughter , then Rewarder "tanked" in short order , an auto resto performance shop bought it out and promptly failed as well , We considered buying the company but there was very little other than blue sky to justify the price < I bought alot of remaining bits and pieces and it the Business just slipped away ... fast forward Bassett obviously smelled blood in the water and promptly raised their prices to well over a grand a set , last set that a customer had shipped here was $1395 (BBF twists) > Basset made thier dealer buy in around 30k with a inventory maintenance clause , and the profit or discount that barely made it worth the effort and investment . I used to sell about 20 to 30 sets a year .... BTW I have a set of really and somewhat rare nice Sandersons for a Vdrive BBC if anyones looking

 

[was thatguy]

CP shows them at $1395 as well.
Last new set I bought had to be over 10 years ago.
Think I paid like $1150 with all water lines, t-valve and covers?

Sounds like the websites pricing isn’t correct, I’ll keep looking on FB and other sites.
Thanks for the info.

I'd be skeptical thier web site is antiquated , I'd call for current P&A

Years ago when Hotboat Mag was around they teamed up with Bassett on a Contest I won a set of V-Drive Bassett 11000 that I’ve never had out of the box BUT saving for a rainy day when I need them

One of the plating shops I use for my calipers does all the chrome plating for bassett....I saw a truck load of headers leaving a couple weeks ago when I was there dropping off a load. They are most certainly still making parts.

That's a scam website that captures old ebay and other classifieds listings and re-posts them....be careful on there.
