I have a NOS Charger 500 grille emblem and was wondering what it's worth? I had been saving it for the "500" I hope to buy someday. Debating on selling it, but not sure what it's worth in today's market. Any ideas?

Thanks !

ONE MILLLLLLION DOLLARS!


I know I am going to come off as a real pisser here - but it ain't worth nothing until you have a buyer.    If you want to sell it, just list it on Craigslist or Ebay and be done with it.  Whatever its worth, is what someone will actually pay you for it.    What you might imagine its worth and what it's actually worth are two different things.   Anybody that gives you a price on here is just blowing smoke - UNLESS they are saying that's what THEY will pay you for it.


So back to my original point - it's worth ONE MILLLLLION DOLLARS  to the guy who has a million dollars to spend and a charger that is incomplete without it.  All you've got to do is find that person.

Good Luck.

No offense intended... but you asked "what is it worth?"

I'm just being cranky today... had to go shopping at the mall with the wife.

Not quite a million - but I could have bought a set of NOS parking lamps for my Bird - for what she paid for a purse!

So, what is a fair price to both a buyer and seller? 
Something between $0.00 and a million?   :smilielol:

This subject has come up again, a legit NOS 2901811 is coming up for sale... any chance of narrowing the $0 to $1000000 value estimate...?   I guess my WAG would be $150 in absolutely MINT condition with NO shelf-wear, $125 with minimal shelf-wear, $100 with moderate shelf-wear (but not noticeable at 3+ feet)...

No, I will not be the seller........................

Over the last 6 years, I bought seven "NOS" P/N 2901811 emblems, four of them turning out to actually be NOS and a set of three imposters... well done reproductions, complete with the P/N and Pentastar.   None of the four NOS were flawless, but one was near flawless and a bargain at $45... two others had minor shelfwear, but were quite presentable... while the last had moderate shelfwear and slight finish delamination.  Prices paid ranged from $45 to $85, and the three imposters were $185 for the three...

Very true, in fact I am trying to recoup some of the miss-spent funds by selling the surplus emblems... in most cases for less than I paid for them.

Something like this is about as hard to value as they come.   

Selling to a small group of needy is the main obstacle.

I've been looking for a rear deck lid RT emblem for a 69 coronet for years. I am sure they are out there and for a reasonable price but I need to check every day in all the right places to have a chance. Mean while what I want sits on a rotting car or in a box of stuff somewhere.

So this gets back to what is it worth.   To me ??  A NOS part may pull $100 from my cringing fist. But until a deal is made what I need doesn't enrich the one that has one for sale.

On the other hand if the 500 emblem we are talking about were to be selling for many hundreds of dollars I would be tempted to take the one off my car and replace it with a repo. just for security reasons.

Suppose a guy had a new Charger 500 emblem in a shoe box for 45 years.

Suppose he charged you .50 cents a month to store it.... so then you could put it on your car in 2014.

That comes to $270. and we haven't even gotten to the price of the part itself!!     

Puts it all into perspective when looking for NOS parts.   

I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

What if he stole it off the asembly line and I charged him .50 a month not to rat him out?   :D

Allen, would you be willing to part with one of the ones you have purchased? I just need one that is presentable to replace to broken one that has been tied on to my grille for the past 6 years with fishing line.

Sure Danny, I'll dig out the emblems as soon as I have a chance to.... Are you interested in a Repro w/P/N & Pentastar (the ones claimed to be NOS by the eBay seller I purchased them from), or a shelf worn NOS (probably the one with slight delamination)?  I also have several NOS ones from other model years that would look correct when installed...

Any of the originals that you would be willing to part with. Just let me know a price. Hoping to get a new headliner into my car this year too. Slowly I will get mine to looking more presentable.

The 500 badges on the grille are different.

The 1970 Coronet is similar, but not sure.

The deck lids have a similar badge, but I don't have parts books with numbers for all 3 years.  :shruggy:

I think the 69 decklid and fender ones are closer if not the same.  I think the 70 grille one is different.
