Duster grilles
« on: December 27, 2008 - 09:01:40 PM »
Just pulled out of storage,kinda rough,but I have enough here to build two sharkstooth grilles and still have extras.I know the market for parts is way down but this stuff is pretty hard to get.So what do you think its worth?
                                                            Thanks Doug

C'mon Clown, those things aren't worth anything since the stock market puked. Send them here and I'll pay the shipping.

Seriously, $300 each minimum, but I've been out of the sharktooth loop for a while, so I'm probably way low. You could try fleebay, but it's a rough environment for sellers these days.

Check out FABO. Those guys would know.

I would bet they would still go high,  they are my favorite ones for the duster. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I'm guessing the Shark tooth grilles could get 5-600 each on e bag.

They're junk.  Throw them in a dumpster (just let me know where the dumpster is first  :lol: ) .  Seriously, I am not sure how much they are going for nowadays.  I think I heard someone was re-popping them even.  I'd love to get one for my new beater though...

I got $200 for a '70 duster grille complete in good shape about 3 months ago from a restoration shop in TX on Ebay. The '71's should fetch more. Don't know about $600 though. I got just $290 for a '65 Belvedere grille in pristine excellent condition about 8 months ago, and $50 for the headlight bezels.

I have a sharktooth in storage and was watching ebay prices  up till last fall; pristine could get $800-1K, and a perfect restoration brought $1100+, but that was before the crunch.
Good restorable complete ones with no broken tabs were getting $350-600.  I was hoping to get $3-400 for mine (needs paint, its from Las Vegas and got baked in the sun there, and has one broken tab and some slight damage to several of the little crosspieces inside the slots). 

Given the recent downturn I'm holding on to it for now (and I still like the idea of adding a Duster to the stable, and the sharktooth is the best looking grille for them).

car values are going down and people may not be spending on parts as much. But as far as parts values going down. It's a hit n miss. Vender and repro parts will be about the same as usual. They can't stay in business selling parts cheaper then it cost to build.  Good parts always sell when in demand. When these cheaper priced cars are bought up again, the parts demand will sore again....Just me thinking out loud
