So fenders aside(I'll get back to that).
I bought a 69 340 15 years ago for my 69 S. I paid $1500, out of car(gamble)After much deliberation I sold it this year for $1600 to a member here. I dont have time/energy for it. The way I look at it, i preserved a 69 340 for $100 and tripped over the ***** for 15 years. All sorts on here say "core" cuz it's not running lol.
Buyer didnt quibble and I hope it's a good engine for his dart.
69 fender I bought from an amazingly patient member on here that for starters took layaway payments. $600 US. Not only that he held onto it for me(thru him moving states away) for approx 2 years!
I couldnt/cant cross border(I'm in canada) due to foolishness at a young age. Finally I was able to orchestrate a fabo pony express. Another fabo member agreed to bring it to Carlisle and give the fender to a local friend of mine who was going to Carlisle.
I gave a really nice pair of 67-9 cuda fiberglass fenders to the member that brought my steel one up to carlisle(he was going anyway).
So are you confused yet?? Lol.
Soooo over 2 years....$600, pr of fiberglass fenders and another goodwill $50 to my local friend to bring it back, you tell me what that fender is worth???
We will leave the NOS 69 out of it for now lol.
Some people dont realize the amount of effort/sweat/stress involved getting pieces. I dont make lawyer $$ and never will,(no offense intended), so I gotta do what I can to lower costs.
My 69 is a 1 of 34 that I think should be preserved.....but I'm in way over my head $$ wise, and now it's a burden as i have a 1 car garage and 2 cudas. But I look at it that I "saved" a rare vert cuda for the past 30 years.
Dads 67 has sentimental value. That's the one I'm keeping.
#'s matching bs is an absolute pain in the *** when $$ and life is tight.
Sorry for the ramble....
Forgot to add altho the fender is very nice, it will still cost $$ to get it "up to snuff"
Different regions have different prices too.
**ps, thanks again George!**
