Default Whats it worth?

How much would someone expect to pay for a genuine Ford 1934 grille? Its in good condition, straight, with a little surface rust but is need of a re-chrome? Still has the badges on it too!! Any ideas?

Well considering it costs $1,850.00 USD = $2,568.47 AUD plus shipping + customs fees for a Reproduction of that grille from http://www.cwmoss.com/grilles.htm in California.

I would say you could ask a fair bit for it if it is a genuine grille.

I'll take 30% thanks.

Cheers

Adam

I dont understand why a restorer would pay nothing for it when a rodder would?? I thought about ebay but dont want to sell it for nothing. Dont know if it would even sell in the market in todays climate!! Thanks for the comment.

I dont know why restorers wont pay its a bit of a sterotype but my experiances seem tofollow that path, these guys tend to want the world for anything they have but wont part with money for these types of things, like wise if a rodder wants it he will pay good money for it but keep in mind there are really good localy produced repos out there for about 2k AUD

this type of stuff goes for good $$$$ on Ebay
