i have heard good and bad things about gene's noses , My buddy wayne perkins nose on his silver daytona fits really bad .

  I was thinking that it would be a loaded nose ( now thinking not likely) so maybe just worth 5k

thats about right for a bare cone in so-so condition, I sold a rough but rust-free one awhile back for $2200

It's NOS though - big difference...

I'm still blown away by the fact that $100 worth of 18 gauge sheetmetal, pressed into very simple shapes, can be sold for $12,000.

****by the original manufacturer using original tooling and manufacturing techniques ensuring the same horrendous fit & finish

There ya go Robin, I fixed your reply...   


In one sense, the premium you pay for NOS products is in lieu of building your own time machine and going back to purchase that particular part for yourself.  It's only worth paying any premium at all for the guys who are trying to keep their cars as original as possible, and that's a self-imposed obligation more than anything else.

Or...how about paying $600 for an original big block oil filter?

The more I look at a Superbird or Daytona nosecone, the more I become absolutely certain that I have to buy an english wheel and bash one off in a day or so.
