That appears to be a 2-barrel air cleaner to which someone added a second snorkel. The diameter is too small for a factory four-barrel air cleaner, the lid looks like a two-barrel stamping, and the scale between the air cleaner body and snorkels is goofy.
Here's an original four-barrel...
Wheel cyls came with springs.....
The purpose of the RLPV was to keep the wheel cyl seals slightly pressurised. This reduced the travel that the wh cyl pistons would need to move, & kept the height higher & more constant.
Many car makers started omitting the RLPVs because they really didn't do...
It's hard enough to fit the unit into the stock tunnel, further back with the long adapter; it would be impossible without tunnel mods, to install it off a short tail.
No doubt! $20k is getting you a vin tag and some scrap metal. $40k is a sad fixer-upper.
But, a quick search for '69 Darts shows $50k avg for a nicely restore 340 car. Glad I got my cars when I did.
That's too bad.
I know what it's like to lose things to a fire.
About 20 years ago, my brother was cooking on the stove and fell asleep. (He had been doing 16 hour days)
He got out with minor burns, but we lost a lot of N.O.S. Mopar parts in there.
We lost a lot of memories like photo albums...
This 68-70 Charger market is insane.
A non R/T 69 Charger, solid CA car, new interior, new 440?, etc, BUT with patina worn out dark green paint that’s clear coated over…
Just sold at Mecum for $77K
These Chargers sure ain't getting any cheaper, and $80k is a fair price for a really nice non original car.
I think this is a little more worth the money even though it needs some refining.

And this one has more...
I ended up with the blue 72 Duster that was there. His name is Andy, Nice guy. I know him for many years. It was a whole car but not much left of the car that wasn't rotted. So I took a couple parts and scrapped it
AMD tail light panels are not made correctly. So I was going to buy that...
Here's an example of a NICE car. It's not a Mopar, and it's not a muscle car. I don't know what it's worth. It was in a museum for 61 years and looks almost new! It'll have issues as a result of sitting for so long, but it's nice. I just happen to see it on that site. I like dreaming. lol...
