Looking at selling the factory tire rack from a 74. What is a fair value for it?

I have no need for one .but i'd say 20-25 bucks any more and you'll probably be tripping over it for a while...

Gotta be more than $25 for factory original no??? I'd just keep it for that and make garage art out of it.

Just the tire loop no hardware at TBP is $300.

Have a look in the classifieds to get an idea of price. I've seen $200-350 for a complete set up.

There were two recent carrier wanted ads in there as well.

Well my experience was I paid 100 bucks for one 10 years ago but it came with everything except the safety cable. latches, corner castings and their internal nut plates everything. it was easy to find parts but not much complete. these days the fancy rigs don't want an external tire rack as it ruins the 100,000 dollar look. I guess it depends where you are and when its needed.

I just got 2 for free for my daughter's project. It seems the when you go for a bigger or heavier tire, the rack tweaks the body, therefore, a bumper with an integrated tire carrier works better with any tire size making the stock rack useful for original size or plus size tires only.

Add in condition as well. Like new in factory perfect condition can get a couple hundred. And I mean complete, not almost complete. Perfect condition, not just good condition.

The typical, beat, sloppy, bent latch, or missing parts... Those are the trade for a 12-pack.

Anyone who has gone modified will be looking at a bumper mounted spare carrier. The ones looking for a factory carrier will be those doing a restoration. Making a like new restoration they don't need another wore out piece of junk, they probably already have one and are looking for something that is good.

You're delusional.

I've sold half a dozen of these over the years from $85 for ones missing parts to $200 for complete ones.

As with most used stuff it depends on your location and how eager the buyer is and how badly do you want to sell it. .
I've got one on my '76 and two in a "closet ' in my garage - one was given to me.
Same holds true for seats ; I've given away three front buckets with brackets , two passenger and one driver. Two of those were given to me and another I traded for ONE of my spare sets of radius arms .
That being said ; I know people who have sold tire carriers and seats for $100 to $500 depending on condition.

But you are also referencing California pricing. That isn't the same in other parts of the country.

Half of them were boxed up and shipped to other states to the buyers who bought them on ebay.

I think I sold mine for $150 two years ago, it had everything but the cable.

 

[Jakedog]

I tend to sell stuff cheap just to get it out of my way. So I could see it going for at least $50 if you really wanted it gone.

 

[73azbronco]

couple hundred, but I didn't want to mess with packing and shipping, so I made money giving it to Randy.

Might be helpful if you post some good pics of everything included with the tire carrier......less guessing on quality and what's included.
