WIW? Perfect NOS '73 Fury Left Trunk Floor Extension Panel. What's it worth?

[FURYGT]

Yes, I have this part. Not sure I want to sell it. If I did I would love for it to go to someone who is going to use it to make reproductions. It's almost too nice to install on a car. In Chrysler red primer with the part number stamped showing as if it was done a few weeks ago.

Please, serious opinions only and please don't fill my in box with offers to buy it. I know this is made of "unobtainium" and am trying to decide whether or not I want to sell it and if I decide to sell it, I will post something here on FCBO. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to put my neck out and say from your description and the fact it is NOS, I would say about $400.

I don’t know how they compare, but there has been an NOS LH panel on eBay for $289, says it fits ‘70-‘71 Dodge C body.

Can we see what it looks like?

Would the RH panel be an exact mirror image or are they (slightly) different? It would be great if someone would copy it to make reproductions.

I will try to get photos posted tonight.

I think that there may be some very slight differences from side to side for some years.

Their stuff leaves a lot to be desired.

There is a member here that needs that panel. Nick Winter is restoring a 73 Fury I cop car

If I sell it, I would like to see it go on something special like a cop car. My preference would be for someone to use it as a template to make them. Feel free to put Nick in touch with me.

I haven't dealt with them. I just passed the info along, thanks Big John.

I am a fabricator....no promises I could reproduce them but is like to see some good pics to get an idea if I could or not.

The part that does most of the rusting is the vertical portion that attaches to the lip on the quarter panel. To make things easier, just that portion with a nice flange to attach to the existing floor extension would probably do the trick for 99% of the cars needing it. I'll even bet that it could be a very generic part for some year ranges if you spent a little time with a tape measure.

A pic is worth a thousand words... Don't make the part marked in yellow.

For example, here are the ones that @cbarge fabricated for his car. The only addition I would make is a flange at the top to attached to the existing extension. Possibly add the drain hole to make it look more OEM.
