Curious to see what you guys think a pair of virtually NOS fenders for a SWB car would be worth, thanks.

Are they for a 67 or 68? There is a difference. I bought a pair of 68, that I had to have my metal guy alter to a 67, so cost me a tad more to do that than if I bought a pair of 67 fenders.Originally Posted by fishman7
If they are truly NOS, I paid $1,800 for mine, FWIW

They are one a 66 right now, what is the difference? I'm a lwb 911 guy the swb stuff is new to me.
I have a new set for sale in the classifieds for about $1400 each. There are differences from the originals.
Are yours used "like new" or "NOS" never been mounted on a car? What state are you located in?

To me it would depend on whether they are tan or green primer originals or Dansk made. Im not a fan of Dansk.
Located in Pa; the fenders have been mounted on a car in 1972 or 1973 but are still mostly in their factory primer, one fender still has a Porsche tag and part number-lets say NOS-ish.
Early 911 cars up thru 67 had a small lip on the inside of the fender well. In 68 they went from a 4.5"x15 wheel to a 5.5"x15 wheel, so they removed the lip from the fender to give more wheel well room. I had to weld that lip back on the 68 fenders I had, to make them correct for my 67. Also, if the fenders are now on a 72, did they get a small flair, which would be correct for a fender from 69-73? If so, this would make them worth much less, as for a SWB car, this would also have to be re-done. Hope this helps.

O.K. I went out an looked at them closer, they are SWB fenders for sure and the inner lip goes from maybe a 1/2" at the bottom of the opening to almost nothing at the top/middle of the opening. Also the horn grill only has on tab on each side instead of 4 tabs.
I would have to challenge your definition of "virtually NOS', which I would take to mean just that: "New Old Stock" and but for years of dust and or light surface rust, they are as the left the factory.
Having been installed on a car since 1972, and having 'mostly' primer on them........I think you're straining the accepted definition.
Also intersting is the old parts book, which lists only 1 part number each side for 65 through '68, all models incl. USA...
Lastly, I've always wondered about the primer colors. Back when I was a pup working in the P/A parts dept, I remember learning that many of the 'over-the-counter spare body parts were pieces rejected by the production body shop workers, or otherwise damaged pieces that had been repaired and re-primered.
Fun stuff
