Question 56 Ford Grille

Hey guys,
I have a 1956 Ford and last December we had a Christmas tree delivered to our house. The guy said he was really into restoring Fords and wanted to look. After looking around, he started feeling around in the grille. He said there was no rust in the 3 spots that rust is most common in and that he had seen about a dozen of these pass through his garage in the last months. He said the original 56 grille was really rare and that if i took it to the right place I could get around $5k for it. Is this true? I've read the thread on why people sell their trucks cheap and i know if you take anything to the right place you can get $$$ for it, but about how much would an original 56 grille with no rust or damage be worth?
Thanks.
-Paul

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS for a grille?

Is there any chance that the Christmas Tree Man could have talking about your whole truck instead of just the grille? A new chrome repro grille for $300 or an original used one for $5k?
