My buddy tried to sell NOS Super Bee 1/4 panels at the Carlise Mopar show a couple weeks ago. Yes there being reproduced. My buddy tried to sell them to NOS sheetmetal dealers at the show. Nobody wanted to pay anything, citing the fact that the repros were so good. Are the repro Pontiac ones so bad?

Like Mark said - if you are doing a 100k restoration on a 200k car the parts are worth it.

On the other hand, if you are restoring a non numbers matching run of the mill 69 GTO with automatic trans, Chinese floors, trunk & quarters it doesn't much matter does it?

Everything I've heard about the repro fenders says "Yes- they are that bad". The Hood is supposed to be pretty good and the lower valence decent, but the area where the chrome lips go is not right and will need modification. Haven't heard a thing about the repro endura bumper.

As others have said, its all about what your are doing and trying to achieve. On my frankenstein GTO, repaired fenders from a Lemans are sufficient.

I think the price is reasonable, because the nos front bumper is worth 5,000
by itself in my opinion. The other parts are easily worth 5,000 so that makes the package worth 10 thousand.

When you put it like that You are right, You are not going to find many in that kind of shape.
