What's a Hood Worth?

I am replacing this hood from a 69 442 with a fiberglass unit, and I am thinking about selling this one. It'll just collect dust in my garage from now to eternity if I don't . So, the question is: What's a fair price for this hood as it sets in the picture (minus the tooth. I'll need it for the new hood)?

Keep it. There will be a time when you want to go back to original. Or you will sell the car and the buyer will want the original hood. Keep it.

This.

Or at least keep it until you're certain you want to stay with the glass hood.

Agreed. Eventually everyone realizes that mods are usually worse than original and Detroit knew what it was doing.

Thanks for the advise. I had not considered resale.

or if we can agree on a price and shipping isn’t terrible, you could sell it to me

open the new box carefully

If the new hood comes in a nice box you can store the old hood in it or ship in it.
