What's a fair price for a NOS GM rear quarter for 67 Grande Parisienne ?


Got a chance to get a NOS GM rear quarter for my 67 Grande Parisienne. Owner wants an offer. Wondering what a fair price would be. My first restoration here.   Tnx

I would hazard a guess and say under $500 would be a steal, likely $800 for fair market value and anything above might be on the high side. With that said, it comes down to supply and demand. In this, case, supply is pretty much non existent, so it's a seller's market. You won't likely find another one.

And remember, this is just opinion. You and your seller may have 2 completely different ideas than this!

Depends if there are two guys selling (nope) or two guys buying (probably not). I'd say 500-1000 as a guess.

You'll also want a part number to ensure it's for a Canadian car just in case the US panels are different. I'm not sure if we've confirmed they are the same for this year or not.

My long time neighbour, down the street, has 2 new 67 Nova hard top GM quarters in the boxes (I sold him at my tire shop in 1971) He has turned down 5000 US for them . He going to fix his car (he bought in 69) "someday"

Sellers like this usually play a price game with the buyer when ask for an offer from the buyer.

.......and it doesn't matter what the buyer's reasonable offer is, the seller will always ask for more, usually a lot more.

The seller must know what they are worth to him, he should determine the price (if he really wants to sell).

I personally don't deal with people like this....it never amounts to anything positive.

I'd say $700-800 as being fair, but how close is it to you? If it needs to be shipped, is it crated? Or does it need to be crated? Those things need to be considered.

NOS sheet metal is getting harder to find. Offer the vendor what you feel is a fair price for both of you. You must remember GM did not give these parts away for cheap. A friend sold a nos quarter panel for a 66 chevelle a year ago and he got what he paid for it 20 years ago when he bought it from a GM dealer when the money was adjusted for inflation and todays buying power. I think $500 would be a really fair starting point taking into consideration there is not a huge market for that model and year quarter panel. If you cannot reach a fair price suggest to him to list it on Ebay to find out what the open market value is. He may get lucky and get a buyer but in my opinion all serious buyers are on this website.

A friend of mine once explained it to me when I told him he was crazy for the price he had paid for an NOS piece of sheet metal. I forget what it was, but let's say it was 64 Impala 1/4 panel and he paid $1000 cause I think it was something like that.

He said if it was still available new from GM he would be happy to pay that just because it was still available. I had never thought of it that way, I just thought of it as a piece of metal for an old car. He was right of course.

A few years back I bought an NOS pair of Chevy II fenders that cost me $1400 by the time they were home. Lot of money? Yup, it sure was, but what he had told me rang in my head and made me realize I was lucky that I could even get them.

 and at today's rates it doesn't take long to burn up 1400 in a body shop to fix rough old beat up fenders and you still have patched up beat old fenders that look nice!!

Exactly.

And when a guy is talking 1/4's, the repair cost on a rusty one likely exceeds the replacement panel parts and labour, at least for a quality rust repair.
