If the boxes are unopened, how do you know they arent full of rust?

Sorry, can't help with that and couldn't help myself!

Well i dont know if you can compare but Ive been looking for parts for my '73 GTV..a guy on ebay has a NOS (I think anyway, looks it) boot lid and wants $880 for it.

Now...I woudlnt pay anymore than $500 because I know thats around what it would cost to get my rust fixed up.

Whats it cost to fix up a Ford part? Then work from there. Id only buy it if it saved me money or time.

Yeah they do, and I guess with cars worth north of $100k its not a problem.

For me I dont care if its NOS or a repaired item, as long its in good condition and is dimensionally correct is fine.

Most over used and cliche line ever no matter how true it is.

Hehe yep unfortunately its quite true. How do you put a definitive price on NOS bootlids for a relatively rare car? The OP and a potential customer will have to come to a mutual agreement.
