value of a used 69 camaro silver grill
With the active discussion in another thread in this section concerning 69 Camaro grills, what is a good used original 69 silver Camaro grill worth?
I see many good used black or nos grills for sale, but not many silver ones.

Re: value of a used 69 camaro silver grill
I am in need of one and trying to figure out what a realistic price is for one. I have one spotted locally that is one a friend took out of his low mile drag car back in the 70s and neither of us has an idea of a value. The nice thing for me is that both cars are hugger orange.

Re: value of a used 69 camaro silver grill
to start, NOS ones have been bringing north of 2K up to 2500 - 2800 depending on availability and what your going to use it for.
Ussed ones depending on condition IMO should bring mim 1500 (needs work) to 2K - 2100 very nice) It is hard to justify one unless your doing a yenko or maybe a copo car, or Z car. With that kind of investment - a Z/28 might be marginal to get a new or used one unless the $$ you put into it does not matter to you - then to be technically correct, you would buy one for the car. Ones that need some work due to cracks are not a big deal - they can be repaired and you will never know it and if you use the right stuff, it will be stronger at the repair than normal. Also what to look for is the warpage on the top edge and lower edge....one that has been the car a long time take a set due to the heat and mounting points that don't give....so they will show some waviness on edge. I like the ones taken out early on - they tend to be nice and straight. Hope that helps...... It is not to say you cannot score a nice one every now and then - but IMO this is where the market is. Last point - reason you don't see many silver grills is that they have been replaced over the yrs due to front end damage, cracking the grill and replacing what GM had on the shelf as the substitute number. The parts book dropped the silver grill in a yr or two of production and went to the black and said to paint as needed.

Re: value of a used 69 camaro silver grill
Thanks Eddie for the information. I have watched several grills listed for big dollars on this site and you never really know if the asking price and the selling price are close, or if it even sold at all.
I agree with you that it depends on the car that needs the grill for the buyer to justify those prices. I was trying to hear about actual selling prices and I was way behind on the apparent numbers that they sell for. I appreciate you taking the time to add to the thread with your good information.
