Value of 89' 1LE Camaro rear end?

Well, yesterday i happened to come upon an ad for a rear end in the paper. It turned out to be a 1989 1LE Camaro rear end. It has stock 3.27 gears w/ posi, and disk brakes with the PBR aluminum calipers. I was just wondering how much this would be worth?

I was in Houston recently and found two 89 nine-bolts with PBR's. One yard was asking $250, the other $450. I guess the question always boilings down to "what's it worth to you?"

To my knowledge there was no difference between a 1LE rear axel and a G92 or any other Australlian 9 Bolt rear axel for that matter. In 1988 the rear brakes were different for the 1LE cars, starting in 1989 all 4 wheel disks got the larger 11.75" 1LE disks from 1988 on the rear axel.

Well i picked up the rear end for $240. It was from a stolen 1LE recovery, this guy bought the car or what was left anyways. He was building a 87 Trans Am race car for a mustang vs camaro series. He put the 1LE front end on that and didnt need the rear end, b/c that rear was standard in 87 anyways. The car had like 85000 miles, and the rear end is in damn near perfect shape. Also the rear discs are 11.65" not 75. But anyways, originally were the 1LE rear discs cross drilled??

No, the 1LE rear ends and rear brakes were the same as every other car.
