So $695 that's for a reproduction piece

How much is an original one worth with the grille and shelby grille emblem worth?

So $695 for the trim

Plus $950 for the repro grill

That's not available like many other 60-70 parts

So that factors its value at X two 1,900

So a legit factory setup has go to be in the $5K range

Good lawd !

That one is not a candidate for a concours restoration given it's front and back condition IMO. With the pins broke off makes it a problem to attach and the fix will make it look like the repro granted at a lower price then the ebay new repro.The front may or may not be able to be brought back to the expectations needed. I have only seen one type of repro done over the years that was faithful to the original design. Unfortunately it has been out of production for maybe 20 years.
