I replied to your email and picture. As I said in my email, if it’s not new or NOS, then no, I’m not interested. Thanks.

Greg have you tried Rich at High Performance House in the bay area? Wont be cheap, but he has a lot of NOS still in boxes.

Yes, he wants $500 plus shipping. His prices are unreasonable (IMHO).

Sounds like a bunch of $ but NOS is NOS. few and far between. Perfection comes at a cost.

Yes, agree but I just purchased a new left for $325.00. That's a reasonable price (IMHO).

Just my 2 cents, and I feel your 'price pain', but consider that the seller thinks of it as a return on his investment made many years ago. . .

That is the dilemma of rare, unavailable NOS and perfect parts for all makes of cars.. . I'm sure you've watched 914 prices climb over the years [for cars as well as parts]. . It hasn't slowed down and isn't going to subside unless original manufacturers begin reproducting exact OE / OS parts again. . Until then, the alternative is the current repops which seem to share a fitment issue. .

IMHO,what may be considered unreasonable today is going to seem like a deal in the not too distant future. I had to fork out almost Rich's current price to HPH 7 years ago for one NOS Hella tail light. . He was the only person I found willing to break a NOS set and he charged a premium for it.

What is overlooked is that the collective 'we' are involved in a car that was produced for only 6 years and in what is actually limited numbers. . This isn't like an early Camaro or Mustang where exact OE replacement items are flooding the market.

The right side is harder to find....
They get cracked/punted, etc, when owners back up and ignore things situate on the right. As great as the visibility is, in these cars, there is always a "duh" moment.

I am pretty sure that I have a right side, NOS, that I looked for, for years...in a box....
BUT I doubt I would sell it for less than $400..., just cause the right is so hard to find, and "dear"...

As tool guy says "what may be considered unreasonable today is going to seem like a deal in the not too distant future".
Case in point, two years ago I passed on NOS in the box for $500 for the PAIR! Yes pair, at the LA Swap meet and I thought it was ridiculous. Hmm... I shoulda bought 'em.
Best of luck in your search
