What's a 3rd Gen power bulge hood worth?

[TeeWJay426]

I got an extra hood with the 73 SE I got last year, an original power bulge hood, and I don't plan to use it, so I figure I should sell it. I don't know what they are typically worth, or even if they fit all 4 3rd Gen years. Anybody have a good ball park figure? It is rust and major dent free, has a couple small paint bubbles in one small area, that's about the only imperfection I have found on it.

I would think around $750 in the current market for an original.  Although all I have to go off is the fact that a repro hood in fiberglass is around $450.

Depends on the year of the bulge hood, if it's plain (no inserts), or if it's a Ramcharger hood...and it's condition.  A good condition later year, plain bulge hood will go for anywhere from $750-$1000.  Hoods with inserts and in good condition start at $1000.  You'll be lucky to find a Ramcharger hood in good condition for less than $1500.

The louvers on the back of the hood should help give some indication of what year the hood is. I THINK the 71 hoods have one continuous row of louvers across the back; 72 and 73 hoods have two clusters of louvers; and 74 hoods have no louvers.

Agree with the others, bulge hoods, without the Super Bee or R/T inserts, in good condition: I've seen them on eBay going for anywhere from $750 up to $1,500.

It should be helpful in raising funds for your project!

Thanks for the input- if I had guessed at a value, I would have been low! It's a plain bulge hood, no inserts. Still has the black paint/tape treatment on the bulged area. I'll check the louvers when I get home tonight to see which year it actually is.

Those numbers seem high to me, in the midwest I see them come up occasionaly and have never seen more than $500.  I guess I should be buying and Ebaying them!

My 73 has no louvers.

I paid $200 for mine, it does have a dent though

[E5 Charger]

I paid $500 for mine a month ago. It has a shallow dent and rust, but solid. I found it locally, so no shipping.

[41husk]

I would put them at $250-600 max depending on the condition. 

[41husk]

if you are realy wanting to sell it, put it on ebay with a $300 reserve.  Let us know what it goes for.  If some one realy needs it you might get $700.

[Nacho-RT74]

never less than $500, it's a shame that price but is the truth

[FLG]

Id say 400-500 max.

Unless its a air grabber, those go for big bucks.

My 73 has no louvers.

So you don't have a 73 hood then it's a 74 some 71's have a small gap in between (like 72's)

Ok, either retardation or alltimers must have set in because I looked today and it does have two.   

[mikesbbody]

You can tell by looking at the louvers what year it is as mentioned 71 all the way across (or a small gap) 72, small gap 73, 2 small lot's of louvers (big gap in between) 74, no louvers. Some 3rg Gen guy's like 74's because it has no louvers.
I picked up a 71 Super Bee Hood (this one had the small gap between louvers) back in 2006 for 350.00$ I thought I did pretty good! (no insert and it did need some work) Back then thing's were more expensive.

Here's a pic of the hood... I'm guessing from the descriptions that it is a 71 or 72 hood?

[Nacho-RT74]

72... all bulged 71s where with cut out for insert or Air Ram. "Plain" bulged hood began on 72s

What Nacho said you have a 72 Rallye hood there note the small gap in between the louvers and the lack of insert looks to be pretty good!

Expect AMD to kick one out soon, so if you can get a good price I'd do it now before the bottom drops out!
