Pair of N.O.S. quarters
Hello everyone. These belong to a friend of mine. He ask me to find out what they are worth and I thought that this would be the place to do it.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
Don't know a value now, but do know they will be worth more in 15 years....could have bought 1970-72 GTO quarters for 300 a side in 1988....can't touch them for that now LOL.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
I was thinking that he might be able to get around $800 a piece since they are still in the box. I'm pretty sure there aren't many NOS quarters lying around anymore. The problem he'll have is finding the right buyer. Most people fixing up third gens aren't willing to spend the money to have the correct parts used. I would be a buyer if my car was damaged and needed a new quarter, but other than that, he might sit on them for awhile.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
I had a NOS LH Fender for a 82-84 Trans Am... I should have held onto it longer as I pretty much gave it away... Today I could have sold it for twice what I had invested in the car it came with.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
I would assume that these are the later years... The 82 and some of the early 83 cars actually have different fender flairs.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
The guy that these belong to swears that they are for his 82 Z when I mentioned the flares. That is why I show the part numbers, but they come up as 82-92. I did not remove them from the box just to look, perhaps I should.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
I didn't have any luck with oemcats.com. l did get more pictures. The left hand/driver side is definitely the newer stamping.
The right hand/passenger side is well different, but I think it is also the newer stamping.
The passenger side has a much sharper line. I looked at my 91 and there is quite a difference between the two sides. They are like the ones in the boxes. The passenger side is sharper but still not as sharp as the front fender. I am wondering if anyone out there with a later third gen can see a difference on thier car ?

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
Assuming you can find comparable condition fenders on a junkyard car, is there any advantage to using NOS ones? If not, I think the best bet is to continue holding these fenders for a few more years if you're looking to maximize the value.

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
Tell him to wait another 10 years. You can still cut good quarters out of junkyard cars right now or pick up a solid parts car for cheap. Wait for those to rot away... then you'll have gold!

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
You see NOS fenders and 1/4 panels on Ebay regularly. If a person wants to pay dearly for them, and figure out a way to get them transported, they're out there. Quarters are also one of the few parts that are reproduced already. Unless someone is repairing an exceptionally nice car that was wrecked, I'm not sure the value is there in NOS quarters. You hit a thirdgen in the back end hard enough to need a quarter, or let it rust bad enough to need a quarter, you probably just need a new thirdgen..

Re: Pair of N.O.S. quarters
Paid $400 for one in 2016 and happily paid that for my resto.
Nothing fits better and in MN not likely to get a clean salvage one shipped for that price.
$1000 miminum for the pair is a starting point.
I cannot imagine a reproduction will be worth the hassle to save a few dollars on a good car.
