What is a reasonable price for a 8.5 rear?

I went to a U-pull it yard this past Sat and they had a '72 Lark open rear. Owner said he would pull it and sell it to me for $200.

Is this reasonable. I believe the car was a 350 2 barrell.

Thanks, Scott

 

That sounds a little high for an open rearend that will probably need new seals and bearings. I have one at my home here. I'll PM you.

 

I think that sounds a little high considering its probably a 2.56 ratio.Maybe,you would get lucky and it would have a 3.08 but doubtful.Is there something wrong with your rearend :laugh: that you are looking for one or are you just trying to get a spare?

I bought my 72 GS without an engine, tranny, rear or front brakes. So in short i need one.

 

Where's E.Fallowfield near? Just wondering.I am near Williamsport.

Scott, PM'd you again, and again.

 

Scott, Are you near Yardley? I'm outside of Doylestown....
Hey, if it's a U-pull-it yard, you'll get a discount if, um, U- pull-it . :laugh:
$200 isn't too bad these days, $100 would be better. I haven't seen many Buicks in the yards lately, I'll PM you if I see any 70-72's. Of course, I'm always looking for '66 stuff!

 

Hey Walt.

I grew up in Doylestown, graduated from C.B. West in '90. I am outside of West Chester about 20mins to the West towards Lancaster.

 

In last month have pulled & hauled in 11 more '71-72 8.5 A-body rears to build off of.
Only one had A10 axle bearing ends

:3gears:

Scott, For what it's worth..... I've sold 2 of them in the last year and a half on this board for $75 each.
If I remember right, one was a 70, and the other was a 71. They were both "open" rear ends, fresh out of running cars, not needing a thing but maybe new brake pads.
o No:

 

Thanks for all the info! The yard owner would not let me pull this myself due to its location in his yard.
