Title: Parts value question....
Post by: vinnietbird on September 30, 2011, 07:04:30 AM
How much is an NOS leather wrapped Sport style shifter  (AOD car), and an NOS dual power seat console control panel plate worth? Both new in the boxes.

Vinnie, I know what control panel you're talking about, and I almost bought it last night. If things weren't so tight around here, it would be on it's way here right now.

Guesstimates: shifter handle would be roughly $30-50. Plate I've seen as high as $100 but remember that when new, those plates were all around $12 each, so realistically you can get $50, maybe more. It all depends on the options on the plate too (I think there were 8 different combinations).

I got in a bidding war for the console switch plate I have in my T-bird. It's not NOS but mint used. I spent north of $100 on it...

I may stick them in the third drawer of the tool box for hibernation. I'm in no hurry to sell them. The handle I can't use at all, I have a T-5. I may keep the handle in case I come across another Bird one day, or, heaven forbid...an '88 Cougar. The plate may go on my spare console panel that I have....maybe. I still like the one I did too much to remove it. LOL.
