Reproduction 71 Cuda Grilles
johns cuda shop:
I copied this post from Moparts, I wonder how much $$$ these are gonna be and if they are going to be injection molded from ABS .Nothing beats new plastic. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6684429&an=0&page=0#Post6684429 :feedback:

I'm excited to see what they look like in person at Carlisle! The cost he was talking about a few months ago was reasonable.
CudamanTom:
They were put on ebay prematurely about a month ago along with the cheese graters. The price at that time was $1,200 for the grille and $200 for the graters. I emailed the guy that had them posted and he said there was a snag and had to pull them but said they would be out again this summer.
Now that's what the guy told me.
I hope the price holds true to what they were a month ago.
Since I'm on a budget, it would be nice.
It's got my attention. :thumbsup:
Edit: if I remember right, he said they were injection molded.

not that I need one (but maybe I will one day) but I would imagine whoever produces one of these with decent oem type quality could sell hundreds...easily, and at $1200 thats well over $100,000 in sales. How much does it cost to produce the molds, etc. Maybe $20-$25K?
Cant be much more than that. How come these havent been produced? There is definitely a market for them. Heck, they could produce a very similar one that would fit the new challengers and sell hundreds of those easily.
I know its a complex piece, and I understand its all in the volume, but it cant cost THAT much.

Depends were the mold is built. I used to build molds for die cast aluminum tranny housing s at just over 1 million a pop. Plastic injection is more as the tolerances are tighter. That's a big mold too for a grill.
