I've started to inventory what came with the roller I bought. Some is junk, but there's some great stuff. The best part is that I ended up with an almost complete set of OEM window trim that's in really good shape.
This came with my new '68, but I wont be running it.
Looks OEM to me and it's in REALLY good shape. Just needs a polish and a couple very small dings removed.
What is a full set worth? As you can see I have two extra door pieces.
Thoughts?

It also looks like I have an extra set of this OEM weatherstrip channel. Thoughts on value?

And lastly, is this center piece worth anything? (the woodgrain one). I'm pretty sure it's factory (how can you be sure?). Any value? It's in great shape except the "wood" needs to be re-glued to the base.

You might think about keeping the chrome and wood grain piece which appears to be original. I’m more of a 69 camaro guy and have 2 sets of OEM window trim and weather stripping channels. You never know when you might need them and they fit almost perfect at least better than that aftermarket crap.
If I would have to say you could probably get $100 bucks for wood grain, maybe 20 bucks for channels and not sure on door trim.:thumbsup:

Put it on ebay, start the bidding at $5 / no reserve, and the market will tell you exactly what it is worth...

I've actually seen some pretty smart Camaro guys do this exact thing [cough] [cough].......Charley ;)
He's recommended it to me and it's always worked well in my opinion.

What i've done in the past is look up the repro's in a Classic Ind. catalog and then asked for half of that price or maybe a little more, keeping in mind that most of the time the OEM pieces would need a little work.

Steve, I have learned that, for items like this, if I put them up and start the bidding at a very low amount, and with no reserve, I will get MUCH more traffic/interest/bidding, and a resulting higher final price. You almost certainly will net more $$ for them on ebay than you will anywhere else, and, love it or hate it, there is no better or larger set of available data for establishing the worth, than the huge audience that is Ebay and the final price that the item brings. This is especially true for items for which the description is straightforward and the item itself uncomplicated.
Put the stuff up there and let er rip, I think you will be pleasantly surprised...Rob

Quick sale 50% of new aftermarket is always a good start.
Steve, I need the door trim and will purchase for a fair price. I would like both sets.

I sure could use those channels for my 69.
Somehow my old ones got thrown out. :rolleyes:
PM me if you want to sell them.

camaro trim brings really good money on ebay. I have seen original window trim bring within $10 of new repro stuff.
