69' B body Endura nose, worth.

69' B body guys...

I've bought a parts car for my project. It has a near perfect Endura nosepiece, save a small 1" crush on the top edge at the hood interface. Remarkable really, despite the damage to the front end. The car also came with another nose thats absolutly PERFECT!. The original nose that came with my convertible is really nice except for the bottom left underneath being pushed up slightly.

What's a Endura nose worth these days in nice shape anyway? I rarely see any on Ebay.

Any thoughts?

After market new 1969 noses are available for $125 and a thread a couple months ago said that it was not too bad of an install.
I had mine fabricated by a fiberglass guy five years ago before I knew about the aftermarket ones.
Stock ones in nice shape are probably structurally not that sound even if they look good due to the Endura material being over 35 years old.
Even with that being said I might be interested in buying one of your originals just to have a spare. my e-mail is [email protected]

Aftermarket noses are available. they are made like the originals, but cost about $400

I'd venture to say a good used original that needs just scuffing would be worth about that.

This is not a full nosecone (I have one). It's a hollow plastic cover roughly the size and shape of the nosecone. I think it would take a pretty talented bodyman to make this work.

If someone DOES know of a full Endura nosecone reproduction, please let me know!
