I have my core and do not really see any value in keeping it and I can put it in the box the new dash came in.  I am in Southern California though so probably not much help - let me know

What do you think it would cost to send it to Alannah in ElPaso ?

I did a quick quote through my fedex account using 50 Lbs. (I dont think it weighs that much) and it cam up with $110, I would think that would be the max, and there are probably cheaper options

How much would you want for it, and the hassle of boxing it up and shipping it for me ? $110 plus what ?

I have a core as well, would like to get it out of my garage but its not an easy sell. I don't have a box big enough to ship and can't find one locally. Several places online have them but only sell a 10-pack, and then shipping 10 empty boxes to me is ~$120. Then shipping to the buyer/remanufacturer. I don't really want much, mainly want to see it used vs trashed.

Anyway, it is from a '70 Challenger, A/C vents, and was a 3 speaker pad though I don't have the grills or mounting.

@anlauto - PM me if nothing better comes up, I am at least in TX. I can send pics if interested.

I have one also but like every one else said the shipping cost is more then the core price.

@70vert what kind of condition is it in? Not usable?

I honestly have zero idea what it would be worth - as for boxing it up and shipping that is the easy part, no charge for that!  I can use the box the new one came in and drop off is 5 mins away - least I could do considering all the help I have received!  The other thing that is weird is I paid $1000 out the door, no core so maybe see what you can negotiate??  Sent you an email..

I'm looking for a core that I can pick up in the vicinity of Delaware, Maryland or Eastern PA. Please call or text 301 six O2-2465, if you got one.

I have one laying around that I was thinking of having redone but at this point, may be better just to buy one already completed.  It is an A/C pad but I assume it doesn't matter . . . Just thinking out loud but may be able to make it work for you.  How much are they worth?  I would keep the A/C vents as they are still in pretty good shape . . . but the rest is toast from the Florida sun . . .
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

If you order a pad from the guys in ElPaso their website say the core charge is $395. They also told me personally that they will pay $100-$120 for cores. They won't be at Carlisle, but there will be people there picking up cores for them.

That always bugged me. They're making $275 - $295 on cores. Also, by the time a core is shipped, how much of that $100 - $120 are you left with - or am I missing something???
