If you want to see the high side of prices, look on Ebay. I've seen them start anywhere from $20.00 and up!

The following quotes just my opinion of course. Very nice grill that is good enough to chrome without any straightening $125-150. Nice fixer upper that needs a bit of MIG action but basically real straight $50. As the previous poster said though you'll see them all over the spectrum.

One that looks really great, but contains bondo is not worth as much as a really straight non-bondo-ed one, because the bondo-ed one cannot be crome plated with the bondo still on. Not that everyone wants to chrome plate them, but it reduces your options if it has bondo. I just lost out on an ebay auction tonight (too slow on the mouse button) a VERY straight one sold for about $46, and was platable. Of course, the plating will probably run another couple hundred $$, so if you want a plated one, and can find one under that price in good condition, jump on it.
