how much is trim worth?

got a guy who's willin to sell me the side trim moulding for my 46 dodge business coupe and he asked me what i'd give him for it because he doesnt know what its worth and i dont know what its worth? there is a piece missing but its just the 1" trim that runs full length of the car from hood to trunk.

 

I'll say this, the side trim for a 59 Chevy Fleetside bed goes for about $2k if you can find it. And that's a strong if. You have to decide what it's worth to you...

 

Anywhere from $50 to $500, depending on condition and how desperate you are. The P15-D24 forum would be a better place to ask about old Mopars

 

I paid 50 bucks for some trim in Singapore once.

 

I have been payin' for it for the last 35 years! HRP

 

He's the only guy in the world selling that exact trim right now, so it's worth plenty.
You're the only guy in the world wanting it, so it's not worth much.

Offer him $100 cash, see what he says?

 

seen it cheap seen it expensive..its up to you what you want to spend on it..if you have to have it..it will be expensive..if you can wait and still search for it you may find it very cheap.

 

Like so many of these questions, it just depends. I bought a 6 inch piece of nose trim for my 40 Dodge in nice shape and paid $400. We (dad and I) had been looking for the piece for 20+ years and I would have paid more. I just bought a full set of 55 Pontiac trim (very desirable) for $75. However, after ding removal, extension, shortening and polishing I'll have $500 in it. So it just depends on how hard it is to find and the condition.

 

$50 damn she saw you coming.....ooops. Oh yea...Singapore was a little higher than trim in the Phillipeans. Must have been the exchange rate!
