WIW NOS Cuda Grill

[70_440-6Cuda]

I don't have any pics yet, but a buddy let me know of a 1970 NOS grill, argent original paint, the red trim, Plymouth emblem and the upper chrome trim.

He said he took a look at it and it is super clean, a few small paint blemishes and a 1" crack in one of the corners not visible from the front - said the guy is asking $2K which is insane to me - my buddy said to offer the guy under $1K and he would probably take it....

Anyone have an opinion on what a fair price would be?  I have a nice original grill, but it could definitely be better - will take some work to get it to a point where I would want it on the car, and can probably get a good price for it.

My thinking is the better the part is I am starting with, the better the result - I am not made of money, but have invested in a lot of NOS or restored parts to hopefully have a really good result

Not sure if the red bars are still reproduced but that sounds like a steal for $1k, good deal at $1.5k, Nice to have for $2k.

I just offered him $700 and he took it, going to go look at it next week and see if it is as good as he says - keep in mind it is not in perfect condition, but the texture is there and it is complete except the lower chrome trim

Make sure it's really NOS and not a repop.

has the Pentastar emblem and 2949558 part number - any repops produced with factory markings?

[DeathProofCuda]

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. 

I think that the BEA repops may have been a Mopar licensed part with Pentastar stamps and part numbers.

Any way to distinguish a BEA reproduction?
