That would be reasonable today for the same part. I put it on for SAAC 27 and took it off for a nice used one that I had. I still have it in the box..Guess its used now? It rode around on the car for less than a tank of fuel. Good parts are pricey, but unless a good repo part is out there, do we have a choice? A nice restoration deserves good parts.

I install only NOS or very good used parts on my car when the need arises and my car is a driver. Unfortunately as we all know, with the soaring prices of the cars so goes the NOS parts along with it. I know of people that have installed higher priced NOS parts than that fuel pump, on their non thoroughbred cars. Example: a few years back, someone on this list (who shall remain nameless) paid what would be considered a lot of money (more than the fuel pump) for an NOS 67 Shelby GT-500 fan shroud, and installed it on his car. The reason it was so expensive, as many parts are today is because of it's rarity. Now don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing, because it shows that he was willing to pay the exorbitant amount of money to make the car that mush more correct. So that is why people pay the kind of money that they do. Kenny
