My NOS air filter that came in the Ford box together with

the NOS air cleaner has a burgundy color and

it appears to be lower than the one shown.

The number shown on the above picture is a FRAM

number CL 183 PL which I don't think is 289 HiPo.

My HiPo FRAM filters have the number CA 181 PL.

If somebody is interested, send me an email and I can

send a photo of the original filter. Can't post here.

It's marked FOMOCO ECJ-9601-C3 on the inside.

I don't know.....Some people have way too much money. $600 for an air cleaner element?

round2K_old · November 28, 2005 at 6:21 PM

The repro's work just fine for me. Buying a NOS air cleaner (at silly prices) seems a little like buying NOS oil filters; you can, but why?

Showing in thouroughbred is the only reason I can think of.

I saw this air filter on Ebay and thought the buy it now price was completely rediculous.

I believe that when I get my Kar done that I will run a K&N element when I drive it ($40.00) and use my repro for shows. WOW!!!!!

And these aren't even the correct one for the 289 HiPo, too tall and too wide. The correct K part# is B7SZ-9601-A (Motorcraft# FA-41). I believe the first application for the FA-41 was the 57 T-Bird 312 4V. Bought several of these when I had that 57 'Bird, now I wish I had bought a few more.

Sold for $127.50 by seller realnos4u

DESCRIPTION:

You are bidding on one NOS Boss 429 Air Filter FA-41. This filter has many other HiPo applications (289, Boss 302, and other big blocks). These consumable Ford tune up parts are obsolete and scarce, but a necessity for that original appearance on show day. Rare NOS at $1.00 and no reserve.

cowboys mustang here, the seller of the aircleaner that went for $660. the bidding just got higher and higher. it was a supprise to me as much as you'all. i think having the original shelby invoice with it was what made it jump. the last letter aplication was G not C on this filter element.

Thanks for checking in here, Marty. I'm sure you were nicely surprised that the bidding went as high as it did. Those filters were cheap when they were new. Who would ever think that someone would pay such a high amount for one of them?

I have this one for sale. $100 plus shipping and it's yours!

These older Motorcraft FA-41's are a tad smaller than the original FoMoCo filters like Bo has pictured above and as such IMHO look a little goofy inside the HiPo air cleaner housing. The repops now are so good and fit better.

Probably because they FIT like they are supposed to...

Still not worth that kind of money even if you are doing thouroughbred IMHO. But I refuse to pay $687 for a 4201 fuel pump too. I guess I'm just cheap...

SixT5HiPo · February 1, 2006 at 10:26 PM

This seller offered three NOS air filters in three separate eBay auctions. All three were SOLD for $167.50, $152.50, and $129.50 respectively.

DESCRIPTION:

I am offering at auction, this NOS 1965-72 Mustang FA-41 Air Filter at NO RESERVE. It is a BRAND NEW, NOS Ford Part. FORD part number:

B7SZ-9601-A Correct for 289 HIPO, BOSS 302, 351, 390, 428CJ and 429 CJ.

NOTHING fits like an Original NOS Ford part. There isn't a reproduction part that can duplicate the exact fit and quality of a Genuine Ford Tooled Part. Try to find another one of these!! A must for that concours Ford Mustang or Shelby GT-350 Restoration!!

On Jan-26-06 at 09:11:34 PST, seller added the following information:

ATTENTION!!!! YOU ARE NOT SEEING DISCOLORATION OF THE MESH!!! THAT IS A REFLECTION FROM THE BOX!!!!

Wonder what's up with these round mesh Motorcraft FA-41s lately? A few months ago you could get these all day long for ~$75. Dang it, looks like I sold mine too soon.
