I'll betcha it's a Carpenter repro, current price: $44.95.
In the 1970's, SoCal Pickups and Panels was the first to repro it. It originally sold for 10 bucks.
This is the same company that "dreamed up" the running board step plates.

If so, they had the fiberglass fender liners with the battery box built in. No one makes one now.
On this thread: the hood emblem isn’t the only high priced item they have had. They also have the $1,000+ F-100 emblems and the $1,000+ Fordomatic emblems. They have also had the $1,000+ “Boomerangs” in the past as well. I don’t know if it’s a scam or just a mistake.
Just checked out their eBay store. They have a lot of items with a “10” added to the front of the price. $1,019.77 valve cover gaskets anyone?

Is this the same SoCal Pickups that had the girls posing in the catalogue?
Probably...

) Pickups & Panels.They sold their repro parts at local car swap meets, but I don't recall seeing a calendar.

If I were to guess, this very high volume seller will add $1,000 to any listing in which he started out with multiple of the same item and now is getting down to the last ones. If his inventory control count is off, then there would be an unhappy customer who paid but didn't get the item.
The seller then may check to be sure his count is correct, then re-price the verified item.
I've seen bizarre pricing on some things on E-Bay over the last 18 years. This one doesn't sound like he is gouging.....he may have an automatic price increase on the last in stock to avoid mis-counts until they are verified as being present.
Just a guess.

Ohhhh.... I get it. Tom you are so smart. Thanks. And here I was blaming a typo, human error.
Talk about human error.... I listed a tool tray from a 52 F2 several years ago. I think I wanted $35. I missed a digit and the ad said $3. Within minutes some guy bought it. I can't blame him. But I cancelled the sale and explained it was a typo.

I saw this and thought it was an old thread revived. This part has been that same price for quite a while.
