Sold an NOS driveshaft for a 69 Barracuda 340 0r 383 automatic with 8-3/4 for $500 a couple of years ago...

What's it look like? If it's a rusty POS it's worth less.

I know I'm probably wrong, but I'd have a hard time thinking that an A-body owner would pay more than what it costs for a new driveshaft for an NOS piece. But then again, it only takes one.

If you have a nice A-Body why not go with factory parts? Have you priced new driveshafts?

I actually just had one made at a great local driveline shop last year for my '66. 3" x .083 DOM tube, new ends with spicer 1350 joints. Ended up right at $250 balanced and painted.

I'm sure Denny's makes excellent driveshafts too, but comparing any of their pricier offerings to an NOS piece is a bit apples to orange, don't you think??

I've just always thought of A-bodies as the red headed step children of the Mopar world and a numbers matching driveshaft just doesn't give me the semi that it may to others.

Used goes for $100 easy. NOS might be worth $200.

Priceiest? The cheapest one the list is $495! There is someone out there who would love to have the PO's driveshaft for $500. There are people who want original parts over aftermarket anyday...

Say it all the time.
Its worth how much cash somebody will put in your hand.

Yeah they ain't cheap either way.

I turned down a pretty hefty offer for a mint 68 383 4-speed driveshaft. They are hard to find without pittings, dents, or butchery from prior mechanics. Then if it isn't bent and has not been shortened three times by past driveline shops you might have something.
