Valuation of NOS 1969 Barracuda fenders and Inner fenders

-
Just my thoughts based on my experience with other OEM parts. Reproduction fenders would be retail priced between 600 and 750. So, If you want to get 700 plus each for the fenders, sell them before the aftermarket stampings become available. There aren't a lot of buyers today ( fewer every day ) who demand OEM made in USA parts only.
The inner fenders are already repoped so your OEM should be priced 10 to 15% higher than the aftermarket vendors average retail price and sold sooner the better also.
 

Those are great parts for sure and I'm sure there is someone out there that just has to have them at any price. If you want maximum price, E bay is the way to go. The auction often times get's more than the item is worth especially if a bidding war starts. As suggested, it would be great if AMD was interested in using them as patterns to copy.
 
The fenders are real nice. As far as AMD wanting the fenders, They will not buy them. They rather buy rotted fenders and make them. This is why they have problems with their stuff not fitting correctly, wrong body lines and other issue. I offered them both front NOS fender and a lot of other NOS Barracuda parts a few years ago for 2 for 1 and my parts back deal and they ( I think his name was Mike) told no way to much. I could no believe it. He said they buy rotted panels and build off that. I thought it was a great deal. I just wanted 67 to 69 Barracuda stuff to get made and to be correct. This was when they were only making duster stuff. Maybe they changed their minds.
As far as your inner fender pictured. It is a 69 superseded part number that is actually a 74 to 76 part.
Still very nice parts and good luck with them. I would contact BB-Dave He is the best guy on these parts.
 
Your fenders are deffinately 1969. The inner fenders look to be 1972. There is a spot for the charcoal cannister on the right front
 
I still think it would behove you to atleast call AMD. They don't make 67-69 fender's. There are a lot of guy's looking for them right know. The last couple times I called them they said they were not making them, but had no intentions. I think they are missing the boat.

I've come to the conclusion I'll never achieve my goal of restoring a 1969 Barracuda.
I had good intentions of restoring my 340 Barracuda fastback in the late 70's, I even purchased thru a Chrysler dealership in my area a pair of NOS 1969 Barracuda fenders and a pair of NOS Inner fenders.
Then my plans were put on hold as I was building my first house.
After completing the construction of the house, I was encouraged to sell with the market being so hot in my area.
The house sold right away, now it was time to build another house.
Long story short, I decided to sell my 69 Barracuda, but keep the NOS parts I had just purchased with the hopes of buying a Barracuda in later years when I would have time to complete the project.
Times have changed in 30 plus years....my desire to drive thru twisting corners had my attention.
Yes, I jumped ship and made a 180 to the world of sports cars.
So, the burning question is ,what would be a fair price for these items today.
A quick search only found used and reproduction parts, no NOS.
Your advise would be greatly appreciated.
