69 charger grill WIW

[fastmark]

I have a chance to trade for a very nice complete 69 Charger grill. I could use it for a 69 R/T that i am putting together to sell. It is really a mint grill. I have two other grills that are nice but need some very minor repair and paint. If I have time and decide to repair and paint the grille that I have, I would just sell this new one. After all, I don't want to spend more than needed because I would only have to recoup more in the end. What could I expect to get for really nice  complete grille and headlight assembly? I know what my stuff is worth and don't want to loose out on the trade. I know what I see on ebay and wonder if anyone really pays 3000 for a grille. I know there will be someone reply they have ten of them and never paid more than 200 for one and that is all they are worth, but I need a real accurate price before I do a trade with this guy. You just don't see them for sale very much. I did sell a 69 center section to a guy on this board for a charity build and he seemed tickled to get it for 400. No one on here offered to sell him one for any less. I'm not sure how long he had looked, either. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a tough one, more so because you indeed don't see a complete and mint grill all that often.  I don't think $3K is out of the ordinary these days but I'm half guessing.

Guess I should've bought that half center section to fix my spare grill for $100 a few years ago huh?

I think too many people use eBay as a price guide. Look around on craigslist, mopar specific sites, you get a better idea of what they may be going for. I would say from what I have seen a good restorable grille could be found for 500-700 bucks complete. Usually really nice ones may fetch 1000-1200. I bought a nice grille center (had to make a couple of repairs) for 250. I also sold a 68 center recently for 225, it needed a little work but wasn't totally trashed.

Good luck,
Jason

I sold my 69 Grille (just the plastic no vaccum pods, no trim or emblems) had 4 breaks in the plastic vent fins and a corner broke off. Sold it on Ebay for $1200.00 I had guys wanting me to sell it before the auction ended. probably the most activity of anything I had ever listed.

I believe in spare parts. You never know when you might need one. I have several Cuda grilles and now they make a nice one. I could have sold them for lots more before the repops came out. If I were keeping this 69, I would not sell it. I'm working on a 70 R/T to keep so that's why I'm selling the 69 car and parts eventually.
