For the record, I am in the market for a right quarter....

How serious are we? I've been watching that quarter for the last couple days. Tempting. I need one too. I have a coulpe coupe quarters but this one would fit much nicer. If you're serious about it, I'll back off.

If it were a whole quarter panel, I'd buy it.

There's another fella that has listed one, a full NOS panel for $150 at least a couple times. I only need 1/2 of it and he wouldn't cut it in 1/2 to ship both pieces (much cheaper shipping) Sooo I never did move on it. As far as I know it's never sold so I'd expect it to re-appear on the 'bay anytime now.

$400 for HALF a quarter? You'd have to be nuckin'futs....

I must have missed the full one for $150. Baum did have one for something like $650 though.

Actually found a NOS one in Cali for $350, but by the time you pay truck freight, it isn't really worth it. I'll bide my time until I can buy a complete car for a few hundred...like the one I built for father-in-law. It was supposed to be my quarter donor, but it was too good to cut up.

Actually got a lead on a hatch that needs to be hauled off, supposed to have good sheetmetal...we'll see.

No you wouldn't, because it'd already be on the way to my house!

$400 ??? Huh? What are you talking about? I didn't even pay $99 for that one? I figured even at $99 and add in the shipping was still a tad more than going to the yard and having one cut off a car there. But then that is cleanup of the used quarter.... eh, it was a push...

OK OK I FELL ASLEEP AND FORGOT TO BID. THERE I SAID IT!!! amnit: Graveyard shift iscrapola

Had a $400 buy-it-now whein I saw it. Didn't even notice it was no reserve, because I was so shocked that someone would call that a "NOS 1977 Ford Cobra Mustang Full Quarter Panel ", when it was clearly NOT a full quarter.

Anybody know what NOS fenders sell for?

I've seen NOS fronts for about $250-300 each.

Thanks! I have a ton of Mustang II parts and have no idea of their worth.

You know you can buy them for 99 bucks from Mustangs Unlimited. Only thing is that it cuts off right above the fuel filler area. Nothing that some spot welds, a grinder a plenty of JB weld can't fix, hehe

I have a left and a right hanging in my garage. They are re-pops though. They do not extend that far up the car though. They go from the door to the bumper, but only extend to just above the gas filler hole. NOT FOR SALE!!!! I am saving them in case I hit something at an open-track day

Sorry, but having dealt with one of those panels on a car I bought, you're fooling yourself if you think they are anything like an original panel. Poor bodyline, does not extend all the way to the factory edge/seam in any area, and requires a 5-foot long seam in the middle of the panel.

I guess years from now when there are no IIs left to source used panels from, they'll be better than nothing, but for any kind of a quality repair, they fall far short.

Besides, I only gave $200 for a whole car (less eng/trans) with mint quarters.
