Hi folks, I have 3 aluminum brake drums from a '69 225. Two are right at the recommended .090" cut limit (though we always used to go a bit more, back in da day) and the third one might be at around .125" cut. What are they worth? I want to sell them but just looked on E-Bay for some for sale and there were none. I grabbed these last year at the junkyard since I knew they weren't making any more of them and I thought that someone could use them. Not looking to "kill" someone; just want to know the fair market price. Thanks! Best, Ranger Aiken, SC
Nobody!? Somebody must have an idea? What do you "Big Buick" guys do when you need replacement aluminum front drums? I guess I will just put them up on here and E-Bay at some outrageous price! Best, Ranger Aiken, SC
I tried that. I have a pair of them. One has lots of meat left, and the other one is pretty thin. I put them on ebay, and I listed them with a $40 starting price. NO bids on two go-arounds. They are sitting on my shelf now. I even had them blasted and cleaned. Money down the toilet! The earlier aluminum drums are big money, though.
There's a guy here in Illinois that relines them, but it's like $300 a drum or something like that. he also buys drums is says. http://www.jgrelining.com/
I just saw 2 NOS drums at Hershey last week . They had a price of $400 for both on them. I sold 3 sets on E-Bay 3-4 years ago . Got $125 for a pair plus shipping. Seems Street Rod guys use them.
I've sold single drums for over $200, but they were all 45 fin. The ones I have are 90...and don't seem to command near the $$ as the 45's. I just couldn't believe I didn't get any bids with an opening bid of $40 on the PAIR. And I tried the auction twice. I gave up and put them on my shelf for a brighter day.
The ones I saw and the ones I sold were the 90 fin ones. I believe I still have 2 left out in the shed.
