Default 69 427 hood value?

Way back in about 1976 I bought my next door neighbors 1969 427/435 vert. The tri power was gone, 850 Holley and a Hi-rise hood took its place.
I just recently rekindled my friendship with him after all these years and he told me that he still had the original 427 hood, fathom green, in his attic.
Wish I still had that car but who doesn't have a story like that?
Yes, he is still a Corvette guy (C6). Pretty cool in my book.

So guys, what a realistic price for this hood? Like new condition. I told him I would help him sell it.

Thanks, Pete

He does want to sell it.
He promised me some pics this weekend. He is not a computer guy so his son will have to come over with his digital camera.

Wouldn't these prices be the same for a 70,71,72 etc big block hood.
I'd think they were the same except for the 454 letters instead of the 427 letters. Are the female latching plates (for the body pins) different?
