What condition is it in now? In my experience they can get tatty looking but they usually aren't in terrible shape. I did have one once that the mercury switch had failed, and I was able to remove it and replace it with a toggle switch (the only problem with doing that is you have to remember to turn it off by hand when closing the trunk.) They were fairly common in that era so there should still be some decent used ones kicking around, look for them at swap meets or online at the usual places. That eBay listing for an NOS one seems to me like the seller is fishing - unless it was a concours restoration I'd look for a good used one for a lot less money .
