    I know this may actually belong in the parts wanted section. But I am not really looking for them. This is more of a curiosity than anything else.

    Do NOS quarter panels exist? Does anyone have any in their collection of parts? When was the last time some of you ran across them?

    and yes, if someone has one and wants to sell I want to know.

    Yes they do exist, not as plentiful as they once were.
    I've seen them go for $350.00 and up...for a 2 door.
    Oh, how nice it would be to have 2 for my 74 Grabber....

    They are "similiar" to NOS...but not exactly correct. The lines are not as crisp. They are not a full quarter panel...more of a rust repair panel. The bottom behind the rear wheels is totally different.

    Yes....one can use them and they will look O.K....but it might take quite a bit of work to get them to look right.

    Yes....they exist. I have several. I see them at swap meets from time to time. The last ones I saw they wanted $600 each for. Pretty sure I saw some in the last year or so.

    I bought my second one about 2 years ago. I've been hearing prices in the $500-600 range. Got both of mine for under $400

    I go to the All Ford Sawp Meets in Columbus, OH (twice a year) and Carlisle All-Ford Nationals. That is where you can find Maverick parts.

    I own a set. Not for sale. Had them for about 6 years. Paid near a grand for them.
