65 nos parts prices

[black65]

Supplied with the 65 I bought in pieces were several NOS FORD parts in the boxes. I also have the receipts for the parts from when they were bought in 1994. They are for a non-GT and I got a good deal on a used fog light assembly so I'd like to sell these parts. They look perfect. Could anyone take a stab at a reasonable asking price? I saw some very high prices on EBAY. I'm sure they wont sell at those prices.

It's tough to put an exact price on them.My rule of thumb with Nos parts is I take the highest quality Repo part price and I figure the NOS is worth double to the right person,however if the part is an undesireable oddball part, then The number isn't as high.


My thought is if you can find someone interested in them who has stuff you need you could trade. Personally what I would do if you truly want to sell them.I'd write a really good description,take a bunch of photos,use a very searchable title ,and I'd throw them on ebay. Since they came with your car your cost is nothing, so I would start them off at $1 with no reserve, and no buy it now and let them rip. I doubt you'll be disappointed at the final price. Any time I have a good part and I know it will do well, I do it this way.I get a ton of offers for buy it nows(they usually wind up being 1/2 of the final auction end price)I don't end the auction early.


When it starts cheap it gets tons of interest and exposure, and you're guaranteed it will sell. Very often when I see people pick an exact price for a part they get stuck with it because they can't sell it below "their price" ,Trust me I do it, before you know it you've dragged the same parts back and forth to Carlisle with no takers for 10 years.

Thanks. Good advice. Now should I list each piece individually ?

Typically, you get more $ is you list them separately. Just offer combined shipping if they buy more than one.

Thanks. I've bought from Ebay before but never listed anything. I guess I'll have to dive in soon. I found some great deals on Craigslist. Just bought a pair of reconditioned bucket seats for $250 and a rear seat in real nice condition for $50. The advantage to CL was that I was able to drive a reasonable distance and check out the items and avoid shipping charges. The disadvantage of course is the very limited audience. If anyone out there wants used 65 buckets and a rear seat for free or maybe a trade for some item/items you don't want, you can have them. I haven't ripped off the upholstery so I don't know how bad they are underneath. The seat rails are unusable but the frames could possibly be sand blasted

That's a great offer, I would pounce on that however I don't see how/when I would be able to pick them up.

As far as your wants list,do you have one?If so shoot it to me at your leisure. I have a gang of 65-66 parts kicking around to sell or trade.

If you check out my other post about identifying various brackets you'll see my plea about finding e-brake parts. Do you have anything like that available?
