Is the bottom of the Fender suppose to look like that on a Superbird? Looks like it's been butchered up with Bondo? LEON.

If all the parts are "originals", it should walk out into the $25K territory, the grille opening of the nose looks a little funky, but typical...

I don't think it will go for $25k, but I bid $5k and did not meet reserve (I didn't expect to though)

$15K+ in parts alone, I'm adding in $10K for the amount of body work one normally has to pay for to straighten out the usual junk sold on Ebay in order to get it in a "bolt-on/paint ready condition" like this stuff is, so basically $25K for condition

example: this hit almost $12K selling...there's an easy $10K+ at a resto shop in work there  :scratchchin:

If the work is done so poorly under that nice new shiny paint job, like it appears on inside back bottom of Fender, some people may want to strip it & redo it? LEON.

I dunno, but I think I'm in Leons camp...where are the mounting tabs at the bottom of the fender? The fender has to bolt to the car the same as all other 68-70 B-bodies...just sayin...

It looks like they may be stuck in the foam pad the fender is sitting on, but it does look awfully clean back there! It would be interesting to check these parts out in person and see how they really look. Pictures can sometimes make things look better than they actually are. This may not be the case for these parts, but if I was spending that kind of money for a front clip, I would be going over every inch! :scope:

Guess I need to pay more attention! I now see the thick foam he's using to take the pic's  :brickwall:

Great Job Dayclona!  Your right :2thumbs: easy 15k worth of parts. Just wondering why you didn't sell them as original. Hope you get 10K extra for your time.

Steve, not my stuff :icon_smile_cool: I was just elaborating on why I felt it would head north towards $25K

The way that outer skin wraps around to the backside edge you can see the line prematurely disappear, so gotta be some kind of filler there :shruggy:

loaded Daytona noses have sold for 35 k  ,   so 25 k for this package is even maybe a little low if someone needs it for a real car .

Well, someone bought it. The Ebay listing ended, item no longer available. I wonder what it sold for.
I have similar parts listed in the Parts for Sale section. They are not finished like the green parts, but I am asking much less for them.

My parts will be going on ebay in a few weeks if not sold privately. They are listed in the parts for sale.
