Looking for fair value on a 70-74 formula hood. Found asking prices from 100 (broken) to 1300 with the mean 450-700.

What have ones recently sold for?

Found a hood that is very nice w/ no broken vents or corners but has holes for hood pins. Nothing a little glass work cant fix. Trying to see if its worth purchasing.

These hoods are everywhere. Every single Formula made from 70-75 had one, and they are the sole surviving component from many a crushed/destroyed car.

I sold one (71-75) recently for $150. (Two broken vent slats, no broken corners)

There is one locally (60 miles) for sale that is asking $65... it has broken vent slats. If it were around the corner I would buy it, but at 60 miles I feel it's not worth going to get.

I would pay/sell the 70 only versions for more money.

Solid (no broken slats or corners) hoods are worth around $300 I would say.

That's pretty much the story.....they made over 50,000 cars with them PLUS replacement parts inventory,so there are probably MORE hoods left than cars to put them on...

Most have SOME repair issues........but not much rust .......that's why they survived.

I'll buy every one you can find me at that price.

I got my NOS hood for around $800 if I can remember that far back (a month ago).

[takid455]

I guess is varies by location, person ect.

[bird72]

yes, these hoods are everywhere.... with broken vents and buggered pointy corners.

I would pay 4-5 bills and feel good for a nice unbroken one, and 8 bills for a virgin one sounds fair.....

Also, you will pay a premium for one that is not bowed in the middle. That is a rare hood, indeed.

i sold a red one from a 1975 that just needed buffed out for 500.00 at the TA nats a few years ago. seen others that were thrown away because people didn't want to take them home.

[1968firebird455]

I have been looking for one too. Every single one by me is $600 FIRM which seems a little steep for a hood that came on so many cars.

Also.....the cost of shipping one a a HUGE factor.....they really NEED to be crated to be safely shipped & that generally means that the cost of crating & shipping can easily exceed the selling price...

I had a perfect unwarped 74 hood with a beautiful underside that I took to the T/A nats two years in a row- this was back when the market was smoking hot..1st year I had $400 on it. 2nd year I dropped it to $300. Lot's of lookers but no buyers.

Later, I put it on ebay with a $250 opening bid and a $300 BIN." No shipping, pick up only" Sold and was picked up in less than 24 hours by a guy and his son from Alabama

I think when selling one, i't comes down to several factors- condition, location, timing and a reasonable asking price.
