What would 8 3/4 rear be worth??????

[duster360]

Thinking about selling the 8 3/4 rear that is in my 67 Dart. What would a complete rear be worth? It was originally a C body housing. It has been cut down to stock A body size, 52 5/8”. All moving parts were bought new and have no more than 3000 miles on them, in a street car.

Has Yukon axles with green bearings and big bolt pattern, 5 x 4 1/2”.
11 x 2 1/2 brakes
489 case
Dana powerlock clutch style differential
Richmond 3.55 ring and pinion
7260 yoke

Is this a sale thread?

 

[duster360]

No, just trying to get an idea on price before I post it in the sale section.

I'd say around $1200.

Usually the "how much is it worth" threads end up with offers to buy. You can always use the search function for other sale threads to get an idea. I usually give a couple warnings in these threads and then the thread gets removed. When you start a sale thread you start out high and you can always come down in price.

It is worth about 300, but would sell for 1000

 

[toolmanmike]

Sounds like a nice piece. I'd start at $1500. Now if I was buying it I would pay $1000 but a killer deal would be $750. Not so easy is it? What are you planning on putting in and why the change?

I need to narrow the rear a little on each side. First to get the tires away from the quarters and second reason is for larger tires. I have the dr diff 1/2” offset kit to install. I have 7” cragar s/s wheels now. I am thinking about an 8” cragar s/s with some stickier tires. I have a 4 speed in the car with 245/60/15 Cooper cobras. At 20 mph in first the little 340 will blister the tires. I have another 8 3/4 housing to cut down and back brace and reuse all the parts from my existing rearend or go Dana 60. Having trouble deciding what to do.
Car is a 67 Dart, street car.

If your gonna stick with just a 340, a 8 3/4 Will do just fine

If your planning on going big block later (Or blower) a ran a might be a good choice

 

[duster360]

Just thinking into the future. I did pick up a 440 recently, just in case.

Just in case, I like that.

If you have to cut one down, just go ahead and do a Dana 60.

I'd say around $1200.

This is ballpark.

I sold my OEM A body 8.75 complete and ready to run for 1,000.

If you need to buy a rear, buy a Dana! Don't waste your money on anything else.

 

[Jimacuda]

1200 piece by piece
900 all in one piece
approximate

Get some sticky Mickeys on it and you wont have that blistering problem.

Cut "C" body 8 3/4 $100 for the housing.

And what ever you could get for the rest of the parts.

I bought an 8 3/4 complete with Richmond sure grip 4.11's for $750.00 two years ago. I bought recently a 71 parts dart with an 8.75 open diff for $500. And the seller is a hardcore mopar guy, like the president of the local mopar club so he is fully aware of the value of it. I see guys listing empty A-body rearends with only backing plates for $1500. Now will it ever sell at that price? Doubtful as the guy I bought the parts dart from couldn't sell the car with the rearend for $550 that he listed for months before I bought it. It depends how bad you want to sell it and even more so how realistic you price it. In my area $750 sure grip $500 open. I see guys listing center chunks for more, but they dont sell, because its not realistic market value. At least not in my area.

 

[toolmanmike]

And I bought a 3.23 Sure Grip chunk from a friend for $100. Installed it and rock and roll!

Looks like Prices are all over the place. Guess if I go through with it I will just have to come up with a number and see where it goes from there.
