Default value thoughts on VB&P C3 suspension

My 69 coupe came with the Vette Brakes rear mono-leaf installed and the front mono leaf/lower arms un-installed (used). I think I"m going to go full Ride-Tech on in it in the future and was wondering if it's worth trying to sell this stuff. I have no idea where to start for a reasonable asking price either. With VB&P gone, there isn't much reference out there.

I welcome any thoughts or suggestions

Thanks

Put it on and run the heck out of it.......I love mine
I believe Van Steel is picking up support for the suspension......the only nail biter is being able to get a new front spring if needed.
If you need to sell it though......the last one on here went for about $900.

I liked mine although I have gone to the Ridetech rear and a coilover on the front. Having said that, I am sure Van Steel will probably pick up the parts applications for your system since there are so many out there. I would think there would be a good market for your used system. Maybe a call to Van Steel would clear up their intentions. I sold my Vette Brakes system on here a couple years ago, but can’t remember for how much lol! Could probably find it searching my username.

Thanks for the info and replies. I'll post it up with some pics once I get just a little closer to pulling the trigger on the replacements.
