Re: NOS 67 step fenders

Even "if" repops were same quality they aren`t a GM "exactly what came on these trucks" part.N.O.S. is always worth more than repro.Basically,repro is aftermarket,right?So,take an`08 GM part and an aftermarket replacement part.What`s the price difference?GM is higher.It`s a big issue with insurance jobs.The body shop wants to save the money and the customer wants their vehicle fixed with the same parts that came on their vehicle.Now,let a few decades pass when these parts are depleated and hard to find.It may not matter much with some vehicle`s parts.But,we all know about supply and demand and in this case there definately is demand for 67-72 parts,especially`67-only parts.Catch my drift?They should sell for at least double what the repops do.Another thing is,what if GM still supplied these parts?I`ve seen the inflation in the price lists over the years.What would GM want even if anyone could hop on down and pick up a fender in`2008?You otta figure this isn`t a reproduced item.It should cost more than a 68-72 fender.
I`d say $700-$750@ is a good baseline.I had a very nice straight,no rust,original paint`67 stepside fender I sold this summer for $375.I think it should have cost more than a repop.But,I wanted to sell it at that swap meet.A guy with a shop that restores these trucks bought it up,no questions.
It`s definately good Ebay foder or talk to the right guys that want a razor straight truck build and they should give you good money.I`d try to sell the pair at $1,500 and if someone wants a single mark it up.
