I'm not even sure what they are worth now, maybe $500-700 a pair? But make sure you look at them before buying.  The chrome they used on those wasn't the best, often gets tiny pitting in it.
When I did my car, I found an NOS takeoff set from the 70s, and later a single NOS one.
I ended up having the pair redone, and mine came out great.  The NOS just wasn't good enough to use as is I didn't think.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe around $600ish, but make darn sure that someone is not trying to pass off older reproduction ones on you as well...As the reproduction parts are getting older, some even 30 years old...people try and pass them off as original Chrysler parts.

What are you asking for your messed up ones?

One technique for determining value is to take GLNOS asking prices and divide by two or three.



I think Brad's 500-700 estimate is a good.

the reason i sent them was i wanted the chrome a little nicer was very specific what i wanted even wrote on paper and used tape what and what not to do. they came highly recommended buy a ford and chevy friend how great their work is. some of the shittiest work along with the other parts i sent off. i guess to ford and chevy standards it would barely acceptable even. the chrome shop said i was to picky.

Can yours be redone, or are the hosed beyond repair?  I haven't used them in awhile, but they did very nice work.

had to ask.  I have a ratty rod with side pipes and a nice set of chrome just wouldn't work on the car.  Could only use some really poor looking tips .   Glad your at least able to use them and not let em sit on a shelf.
