I'm closing a deal on front fenders for my 69 Firebird. The fenders have been restored, are in good condition, and are ready for paint. Price is $1,000 for the pair.
Waddya thing? Is it worth it? One concern I have is for a little more money, perhaps $1,500 or so, I can buy a parts car with fenders, hood, and perhaps a few other goodies I need. Sure, the fenders will likely need some work, but it seems I would come out ahead on the $$. Any thoughts are appreciated..... Thanks, John

The only NOS fenders I've run across in searching for a month or so are TWO GRAND.
I like my Firebird, but not THAT much ;-)

Jcruz ,
So that's $500 a fender . If they are perfect ......No rust , dents, dings and have been blasted to bare metal . Primed in the correct primer ie: self etching , epoxy etc . I would say $500 a piece is a fair price . If you went out and bought fenders that needed to be worked on you may have more money than that in them . The money you spend on patch panels , labor to install them , blasting , priming and block sanding , it all adds up way to quick .  [/LIST]

Barry Martin at Sonic Motors sold me my NOS front fenders for $1500/pr. I know that's a wad but with all the road salt in Illinois you just can't find good pieces. I think they are going to reproduce them prettty soon.

I've seen the earlier posts about upcoming repo's and checked with CCASS -- I think they'll be a while, if at all.
Despite that, I just don't have a good "feel" on these fenders and I'm going to pass on the opportunity. I'll look for some others down the road. Thanks everyone for the input! John

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
