What's a fair price to pay for a sure grip center section?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

70 sublime

I am in Canada so this is Canadaian prices 
I bought a rebuilt 489 case with all new guts sure grip 3.23 gears in it a couple years ago
By the time with shipping I believe I was around $2000

It was one of the pieces I wanted for my 70 build
Too much $$ ?
I have it now and do not care if it was
Just another piece of the build puzzle

The guy that built it had a very large selection of different third members all ready to go advertised in our local classifieds
I just searched for him but came up empty
I see him list more from time to time and will save the ad next time I come across it

Old Moparz

I see used ones from $450 to $650 or so with no guarantee other than the, "I was told it worked when pulled" BS. New has to be like what 70 sublime said, $2000 range. The sure grip unit itself is a few hundred.

Are you going to Carlisle next month?

Mancini is usually there & offers a discount at the show. Their website has a couple, complete.....

The value depends a lot on the style of the differential, the cone-type is less desirable than the clutch-type.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Thanks guys. I found this one about an hour away. $600 obo. Looks to be a 741 case but I don't race it. I currently have same case and ratio but open. I never driven a sure grip but was told acceleration is better. Is it worth the swap?

I got the Carrier (Yukon brand, clutch kind), new on around $200 or so as far I remember and installed a new set of 3.55 gears for 489 I got NOS on a old local Mopar Dealer on $80 or so. My car already had the 489 case.

Just get a tru track added to your current third member. If your gears are in good shape and it's the ratio you want, that would be the best bet.
