Time for a reality check buddy. $200 for a used hood ornament?

1979-1981 Chevy Malibu, El Camino Front Nose Ornament (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8012855029)

Zero bids should tell him something. It looks counterfeit to me.

If he gets that for his, I am going to take mine off and fill it in and sell it.

8) If it sells for that I'm going to the salvage yard tomorrow there are about 4 or 5 out there.

Hey PaPa John's 77. While the ebay item is extreme, I would suggest going and getting those 4 or 5 hood ornaments anyway. From what I understand, GM doesn't make them anymore, and they are not reproduced. Might be worth something to somebody down the road.

"...not manufactured by Chevy or after market..." So what then? Martians?

The GMC ones have sold for that on ebay now several times.

I think he missed the memo that only the GMC ones are supposed to be insanely over priced.

Maybe, if he holds on to it, in a few years it would be worth that much. But even now, on ebay, the NOS 5th gen hood ornaments are selling for $60-70 and the used ones in decent shape are getting $30-40. BTW, last weekend I picked up one at a swap meet, in daily driver condition, for $1.

Time for me to take a trip to the junkyard and stock up.

I didn't know the bowtie ornaments were worth anything. I have one in can from an 80 Malibu. Maybe I'll sell it.

Now is the time to jump on this one. The seller has lowered his opening bid to $175.00.
