Re: Two Grilles for Sale
For junkyard parts, the price is way to much $850.00 for both. If you put some effort into cleaning and polishing, I can see the price. But as is no way.

Re: Two Grilles for Sale
I did clean and polish the 71-72 grille. That's as good as it got without stripping the anodization and polishing the aluminum itself. Also, the '67 grille is an old picture and I have since beaten out the dents, just haven't been able to pull it out for a new picture.chicof100 wrote:For junkyard parts, the price is way to much $850.00 for both.

I am also not expecting people to pay the asking price that is listed! That is why I enabled the "make an offer" option! But went in high knowing people would offer less.
If they don't sell before the listing, I will probably strip them and polish better, and then sell them for even more money.
I can also include the inserts on the 71/72.

Re: Two Grilles for Sale
I know it's not easy! That's why I'm trying to sell them BEFORE I strip and polish... I have a lot of respect for you that strip and polish often... and if they don't sell, these will be my first test subjects for just that!

Re: Two Grilles for Sale
Just to let you know, you were very right. I ended up selling the '71-'72 for $200 and the '67 for $325. So no where near $850, but I did manage to get $525 for the pair, and I think that is fair.chicof100 wrote:For junkyard parts, the price is way to much $850.00 for both.

Re: Two Grilles for Sale
I'm glad you got that much for them. Polishing is not an easy job. When polishing a grille, it will make your butt hole pucker. Not an easy job. Very easy to destroy a part also, easy to loose parts of your body if not careful.hdman90 wrote:Just to let you know, you were very right.

Re: Two Grilles for Sale
Yes! I have a friend locally who is a professional polisher for a local injection molding company. I had him polish a set of West Coast Jr.'s that I donated to a young boy's Make-A-Wish. Anyhow, on one of the side mirror retainers the part came loose and cut him pretty badly. I felt bad, but even he has encouraged that if I get into it to use extreme caution!chicof100 wrote:hdman90 wrote:chicof100 wrote:For junkyard parts, the price is way to much $850.00 for both.
