NOT a very good sign for the value of mopar muscle cars

I chimed in on the first page and was amazed 24hrs later we are on Page 3 lol!

I spoke to a representative from AMD a few years ago about fenders for Demons. His answer surprised me. So for every stamp press they need two halves - top and bottom. It is about ( at that time 10years ago) $100,000 per set. You need 2 sets of two. A drivers side and a passenger side set. That $200,000.00 for one fender. So on a 71’ Demon vs a 72’ Demon that is $400,000.00 because of the marker light difference. They did not want to make a blank fender where the customer cuts in the marker light (or does not) for “liability reasons” what ever that meant on a 50 year old car.... anyhow AMD has millions in forms. Then they have to wear house the new fenders. Most states charge property taxes on parts sitting for more than 3 months. Plus every time they are moved there is risk of damage.

my point is there is a lot of profit in making a fender sale but compared to the work load and over head especially in a market where people are tying to feed their family over “new fender for the cuda.” It’s not a good business model to expand when the world is trying to survive.
