Default Is there a market for a stock steel Trans Am Hood?

I just put a Superhawk hood on my 99 Trans Am and now I need to get rid of the stock steel hood. Is there a market for these hoods? What can I expect to get for it? I listed it in the "For Sale" section but haven't had any responses. Thanks for the help.

Your best bet is Craigslist and hope a local body shop needs one. Otherwise hope it snows and pull it behind a 4 wheeler as a sled (that is dangerous BTW but very fun).

A buddy got $50 for his...he was lucky.

I eventually unloaded mine for ~$100. Took awhile, just kept it in a box in the basement until the right buyer came along

I was trying to get some cash for mine, but ended up just giving it away for free. I was tired of seeing it in my garage.

Thats my deal. I dont want it to take up space in my garage and have to look at it for ever. Thanks for the help/suggestions everyone. Looks like I will probably end up tossing it or turning it in for scrap...

It's a small market but someone may want one. I know on my old Camaro when I dinged up my hood I just bought an aftermarket fiberglass hood... which never made it on the car lol and has sat in my parents' basement for over 2 years now (no room at my place) It'll be getting painted and going on my current car hopefully next summer.

Mine has been sitting in my mom's garage for over 5 years now. I know virtually nobody will buy it. My plans for it are once I get a Porter Cable buffer I'd practice on that hood with various pads, compounds and techniques before taking it to my actual car and f*ck something up on it. Another thought I had was to put a huge hood bird decal on it and hang the thing in my mancave with all the rest of my Firebird memorabilia.

Yeah, keep it and use it to practice detailing. That, or shoot it. Just blow all kinds of holes in it and leave it for dead.
