Good quality parts use to be run of the mill at regular price. Now you have to pay out the *** if you want something that will last over a year. It's ridiculous when a 100k mile used part is more suited to last than a brand spanking new one. And Mopar repop parts are not cheap, even for the Chinese garbage that is on the market. I had a $300 repop dash for my 62 (tiny little eyebrow) peel back after ONE DAY! I've even had made in the U.S.A. parts like Holley fuel pumps leak like a sieve right out of the box. Gauges fail after one days use. It goes on and on.
