What is an A-body 8 3/4 worth
OK....here's a breakdown for you
Bought one for my wifes car for $350.00
Had 3:55 Sure Grip.
Had 10" drums with good hats.
Turned freely and quietly and that's important
Needed new pads - $30.00
Needed new wheel studs and installation - $100.00
Needed emergency brake lever arms - $45.00 used
Needed shock mounting plates and u bolts - $100.00 used
Needed new seals...just in case - $60.00
Needed cleaned up, painted and filled with oil: $50.00
Grand total for a used but now excellent rear set up is $685.00
I looked for two years and saw the prices all over the place. I had already purchased a dirty old peg legger and when I finished the sure grip I eventually sold it for $300.00. It needed everything.
I believe a fair price is $600 - $800 for a complete operational unit in ready to go condition. That is a middle of the country price. Probably higher on the coasts.
God luck.
