Just wondering if anyone would be able to put a value on the part I have. I bought this about 7-10 yrs ago before GM quit making them. Its a GM inner fender for the drivers side. And no its not the plastic pc in the wheel well its the acutal steel inner fender which spans from the front of the car back to the firewall.

 

sounds like you might be talking about the strut tower? or some kind of inner structure to the dog house?

 

No its the inner fender. Yes the strut connects to it but it the "inner fender". This is a pic from a early camaro inner fender http://www.corbettsauto.com/images/D...rtnu/1039X.jpg

I have the same thing but for a 3rd gen.

 

On a third gen, that part is welded to the car, and cant be removed without cutting it out. Do you have a pic of the part? May be interesting to see.

 

Yes you are correct. All the spot welds have to be drilled out to replace the inner fender. I have the part hanging in my garage. When I get home I will snap a couple pics and post the up. The part is going on the car just wondering what its worth is now since its been discontinued for such along time and its original GM sheet metal. I believe I paid $300-400 for it way back when.

 

Pics as promised.

 

Last one

 

Cool, I havent seen a part like that ''brand new'', its kinda neat. I can't imagine its worth all that much though.

 

yeah....thats exactly where your struts mount to...which is the strut tower. I have no idea what they go for....

 

I would think it might be valuable to someone restoring/repairing a car that was needing that inner fender replaced. Mainly because it's ready to go right in after they get the old one out....no having to find a junkyard part and go through all the trouble in tearing one out. I'm trying to imagine what kind of wreck a person would have to be in order to need such a part to begin with.

My guess is that you could probably sell it for what you paid for it. Or continue hanging on to it, and maybe 15 or so years down the road it will be a valued part.

 

The inner fenders have a tendency to rust through. Thats why I bought the one I have way back when. I will be putting it in my car when it gets painted. Just wondering a price because anything discontiued that is GM NOS and is rare usally sells for a lot of money.

 

im looking for one of those for the passenger side of my 91 Z28, it was hit, the repair it quite solid and straight, but i can tell it was hit, and i dont like that.. haha very cool to know there might be one out there somewhere

 

dang, i just replaced this on my 83, I didn't bother looking for a NOS one, just picked up a rust free parts car and drilled all the spot welds out. 1986Z28OWNER - I still have the parts car and it has a rust free, straight passenger one if your interested.

 

got any pics? i imagine shipping to canada would kill me.
