What do you guys think this one is worth? Was bought new from gm in 1973, had a repaint in 1975 to match (medium olive) then before it was put on the truck, the truck was wrecked so it has sat in a barn since 1976 or so. NO dents, nicks or anything. Very clean gate. WIW?

I was thinking $700 range as I sold my other 71 white tailgate for $550 with a small dent by the O but as far as I can tell this ones perfect. Thanks for your input 68bowtie

I consider a takeoff gate to be an original tailgate with original paint. You have a tailgate that is not original. What you have in today's standards is going to be very similar to a NOS tailgate. I would see what NOS tailgates are selling for and ask a similar price.
