[Lane Ockerman]

I have an opportunity to buy a set of NOS, 56/57 Corvette taillights in the original blue and gold GM box. part # 898097, series # 358601.
Please let me know what the market value of these are. I want to pay a fair but reasonable price.
Thanks as always,
Lane

A pair of repro's sell for $600.00. Gen Smith a long time 35 year friend of mine makes the repro's and are vary good . But are not perfect as most any repro's will be. There is nothing like a REAL original part. In my case being a real nut for real parts I would with no second thought pay %100 more for any real part over a repro. I wont to know in my mind that I'm driving a real Corvette and not a kit car. Many may not agree, but that's me and I would never put any other Corvette down haveing repro parts, and people that know me know I don't.
