Whats the going rate for a real superbird front jack and folding handle? also looking for a original triangle hold down plate
The scissor jack will definitely be more expensive since Pete V. is no longer making them.... I would suspect $600 if not more into the future unless he gets back into the creation of them. Maybe President Trump should call Pete and ask him, on behalf of us wing car guys, to start making them again.... :icon_smile_big:
I believe there could be a reproduction jack hold-down plate out there.
The handle I'm not sure of.........
I would agree that for a restorable original jack $600.00 would be a good estimate.
There are a lot of similar jacks and as Troy stated reproductions out there so be carefull.

A "REAL" jack/handle could be as cheap as free right on up to $2K, even as high as $3K, and anything in between price wise, all depends on who's selling, who's buying and it's condition, hold down plates, again from free as high as $500-$600....repros are under $100
Most repro jacks run approx $600+ depending on quality/correctness, handles (repro) $150+
With original jacks/hardware you either get lucky (rarely) or pay thru the nose

I paid through the nose a few years back for just the jack.....I had to have one and there it was.
New repop 5 years ago were 700-800 range.
Original with hold down and handle in near perfect unrestored condition will run 1500-3000 depending who is buying and selling. Hard part is finding a near perfect unrestored jack. Nearly impossible to find
