Need some help with NOS parts values.

[BARACU]

I've been away from the forums for a few years. I've lost interest in my two custom Z's and am in the process of selling them. I have several NOS parts in the original boxes and wrapping . I would appreciate some imput on what value they have...... 2  front bumpers # 62650- E4103....2  rear bumper corners  #85005-N3400...2 rear corners # 85006-N3400  and 2 "Datsun" sill plates #76950-E4100. I'd really appreciate any help on these. BTW, Zs have been in my blood since the 70's and have had 7 of them, just tired of building and working on them. The two I have are being replaced by a 2014 370Z Roadster. Thanks again, AL

Where are you in PA? I'm not sure what the NOS parts are worth but you can see if any have sold on ebay. FutoFab and others are selling new aftermarket bumpers that are pretty nice for $300 or so. To get a bumper rechromed would cost $300-350. I hope that helps a little.

Chuck, thanks. I'm up just north of Scranton. Except for the past few years, I've gone to all of the White Rose Z events in York. I've been there with the 76 yellow Z Roadster or the red 75 V8 conversion. I'm aware  of the various repros out there, just haven't seen any NOS stuff for sale.

It's basically what the market will bear. And NOS will demand a higher price than Repro's to the right person. What I would recommend is doing a Google search for those Part numbers. I searched for  " Datsun 85005-N3400 " and immediately came up with some  searches that said between $85 and $95 USD for that Part number.

 

However, the searches did not show if those numbers were still available. What I would suggest is go down to your local Nissan Dealership and talk nice to the Parts guys there. They can do a search to see if the Part is still available at any locations in the USA/Canada or ordered from Japan. I'm fortunate in that I have some  Parts Managers in my area who are old timer enthusiasts and really like to dig into the old stuff.

 

Now. if they come up with an " OOP's " ( Out OF Production code ).... it's basically whatever you feel comfortable with and what the Market will bear.

 

Edit: Regarding bumpers. The metal parts can be re-chromed of course. Where the real money seems to be in Bumpers is in the rubber parts such as bumper fillers and Bumper ends. I just about fell over when I started looking up replacement filler panels and bumper ends for a 1976 280Z.  While hideous, these things are not cheap...even for used ones.

I recall 8 or 9 years ago, the parts guy at the dealer told me they're were NLA and he had bought up the last of Nissan's inventory, which was 3 front bumpers and  3 sets of rear corners. He gave me a "deal", so I bought the whole lot. I haven't seen NOS offered anywhere and the places that do advertise NOS  show them as unavailable, so I have no idea of their worth. Nothing wrong with repros, but there are people out there who will only want NOS stuff. I'll put them up for sale on the auction site someday, in the meantime I'll keep them, they don't eat much. AL

Are these big bumpers or small bumpers?

 Small 240 bumpers without holes.

Hello AL,

 

Original 240Z bumpers Always have holes for the rubbers for all i know!  I have a few sets laying around and i only have seen repro's without holes in them..

 

Maybe you could put a picture up here...

 I believe they were called "euro' or JDM bumpers. They are in original Nissan wrappers. Not repros.

[Martzedcars]

Must be JDM then, i got euro bumpers en they all have oval holes for the little bolts for the rubber corner pieces..

 

About the wrappers, not every man in an overall is a mechanic..

Here is a parts micro fiche sheet showing the description for the front bumper p/n 62650-E4103 showing (less rubber hole). Those sill plates with "Datsun" pressed in are also hard to find.

Thanks, CanTech. I appreciate the info. Never thought they were they were repros.
