Dearborn three speed value

Hi everybody. My dad recently purchased a Pontiac 400 as a spare for his GTO and it came with a Dearborn 3 speed and the accompanying bell housing. He was curious what these are worth and so I said I would pick the brains of my fine fellow Olds enthusiasts. The tranny is in pretty good shape internally with no chipped teeth or wore out syncros. It is actually a pretty tight trans and shifts in and out of all the gears smoothly. It also has the shift linkages. I have heard that these were a pretty stout trans. If I remember right, the case is a '68 casting and the tail housing is a '65 casting. Thanks in advance guys!

I dont know what they are worth but I tried to sell the one I had for a hundred and there were no takers. I dont think there is a demand for these at all...

The BOP bell housing will command 150 easy, the toploader while a stout tranny does not have any following at all. I've watched several on ebay that never got a single bid. Henry

If you happen to still have the reverse light plate, I am interested and will pay for that part.

OP is actually over 11 years old and the poster hasn't been heard from since 2016, so I think in this case we know.
