Default 1970-72 fender question and later wheel fairing question.

I have some rust free 1970 Firebird 350 fenders and some later TA fenders. Someone said the early TA fenders are selling for up to $1500. Is that true? Can I just use the inner fenders and mate them with rust free outer fenders and make a set of rust free fenders worth up to $3000?

Also, are the wheel spatz/fender fairings from a 79-81 car correct fit for the 70-72 cars?

Thanks, Doug.

personally I think the 1500 price is probably NOS , bogus or somebody really wanting a set (outlier). if they are anywhere near that, I have a set (2) for that if some body wants them.

if your mate the two together, I doubt you will see anywhere near that amount b/c anyone (if someone did) were to pay that amount, they would need to be perfect 'from the factory' speciments. i think it is a lot of work on your end to do that. also the part numbers would be different which are stamped on the inner portion of the fender.

You're saying that the inner fender of an early Firebird fender has a different stamping than an early TA fender? It makes sense, but just want to be sure.

last set i saw on ebay were bid to 4000 and didn't hit reserve.the 70-72 trans am fenders have a different upper brace welded on(easiest way to explain it).there was a guy trying to cut out the spot welds on 70-72 firebird fenders and weld them up to good later trans am fenders.if done right there is still away to tell,but if done wrong things will not line up.
