914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What are these shocks worth?

Posted by: Jon Fernandes Feb 22 2011, 09:02 PM

Have these two Bilstein shocks sitting in my attic. Can someone tell me what I have, and also what they are worth for the pair? The bodies are in good shape, not sure what kind of springs are on them but they are covered in undercoating. Thanks!

older Bilstein sports....nothing particularly special...
probably not worth too much in current condition...

If'n I'm seeing this properly, the lower shock mounting bolts may be worth as much as the shocks.

Billy's uaually hold up well. I'd soda blast them and re-squirt them. Those and the springs. You'd get about $150.00 for the pair if they were presentable and in good working order.

(seriously, hard to tell but the shock mounting bolts look like the ball style for a sway bar... about $30 plus each)

Eric, here's a better shot of the bolt, is that what it is? Doesn't look like the sway bar type bolt.

I'll probably wind up blasting them this weekend and painting them, and then maybe install them on my car to compare them to my koni's.

Nope... not what I throught it was. From the picture above I thought it had a ball end. E.G.

Sounds like a good plan.
