Does the lid have the silk screening under it?

THE LID DOES NOT HAVE THE SILK SCREENING. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM A CHEVY DEALER IN 2000. THANKS, JEFF

Because of that and being dated that late,it probably has the later designed erratically curved PCV tube too that most aren't looking for on a concourse resto.
As opposed to the smooth 90° bend most crave.
IMHO $20-$40

$20-40 for a nos lid,base, and element? I imagine correct or not it should fetch at least a couple hundred, likely more depending on what it is. I have sold mid 80s nos units for $300-$500 on no reserve eBay listings.

To each his own.Mid 80's is not than the year 2000.
There's nothing unique about its parts or design,and add onto that it was made in the year 2000.
It's a functional piece,but an era correct assembly line designed piece.
Those knock off diamond mesh air filters & thin metal chrome lids with no silk screening are a very common,more then most think and the base is nothing special to write home about.
Granted this is a clean new world unused GM part,and that's where it's value is,but it can still be bought new over the counter today for a lil more then I quoted if for sale.
I've seen two of these for sale here this year w/an asking price of $75,which eventually came down to $40-$50 at local swap meets.
They're nice units that function well.

Point taken. If they are still available today, do you know the part number?

Thanks,

Cheapest Repro on eBay

So I think a GM NOS unit would be worth more than the $95 Repro in the link above.

If you are passing on 6423907 NOS open element air cleaners in the box for $75, I will take everyone you find and double your money and pay shipping.
