    Hi, I have been out of this game for quite a while. I used to know prices of everything but those prices have seemed to change after 20yrs or so.

    What does a Grabber hood go for? No rust or easily fixable.

    What does a door go for? Again no rust.

    I have been also looking at Manifolds, 750's and Headers. This is probably a dream for now, but what are the hot tickets?

    The prices really depend on where you buy them. I saw a Grabber hood 2 weeks ago at a swap meet for $175 - it had a some rust under the lip, but nothing outrageous. He didn't sell it as far as I know. If he was to put that hood on Ebay - different story. I should have bought the hood, but didn't. I did buy a passenger door, fender, and flat hood for $40 though. That's cheap, I know, but doors around here usually sell for $50 - $100.

    Thanks guys! I have a line on some parts and I want to make sure that I am paying a fair price.

    Rando, my Mav was an original owner OK car so maybe I should come up there and get some OK parts. They seem to be quite a bit higher here but I just started looking.

    It really depends on where you get them. Craig is right about the prices if you're buying online. But if you can find them locally at swap meets, salvage yards, etc - then things seem to be much cheaper (atleast around here).

    If you're ever up this way, let me know! :Handshake
