Overhead console value?

The 87 GTA parts car I just picked up has an overhead console complete with the flashlight and everything. What are these things worth?

Depends on the condition. What shape is the pocket? Elastic good or stretched? Check the pricing on eBay. The Firebird flashlight is rarer than the Camaro - does it work?

Re: Overhead console value?

There is an offer for $50. That makes it worth $50. Value is what someone is willing to pay for an item.

Re: Overhead console value?

Id split it up. I've got a complete one I can't even get $100 for. However on eBay, I've sold parts of consoles and done very well.
-4 screws $15
-Map light with ring $15
-Nice white dome lens $15-$20
- good working flashlight $40-$50
- and the wiring harness seems to sell for around $15 haven't sold one myself yet.

Re: Overhead console value?

The flashlight & dome lens are the most valuable parts.Especially the FB f.light, since they were made in smaller numbers.I've seen NOS f-lights sell for close to $100 on ebay, but those were NOS.

The dome lens isn't worth much. Hawks sells repros of those lenses now.

The flashlight is where the money is at, I got my overhead console without a flashlight for $10.
