Any particular date code?  Originals are very expensive.

If one particular date is less than another date.  Id can settle on the the lessor. but if date and price do not vary.  anywhere from oct 65 to early dec 65 would be fine.

I don't think that the particular date will dictate the price. It's the fact the fan is original and "dated".

I think you might find that if the fan is dated outside the window of when it could be used on a Mustang or Shelby application that might affect the value and or how many would be interested. Examples would be one made for Hipo's prior to Mustangs K codes being built or later dated service replacement ones. Just an opinion. As we see, the importance of dates is not  for everyone :)

I recently sold a original HiPo fan blade with an indeterminate date code.  One of the characters looked like an upside down backwards "7".  Was this intended to be the bottom part of a"2" because the "2" was lost or damaged.  Or maybe is was a partial "2".   We will never know.  Because the date code was indeterminate, is the blade good for any application or non at all?  The new owner was happy.  The price was not as high as a nicely dated coded blade.   Another indeterminate date coded blade might be more affordable.

I have a late 1963 blade if interested.  Please send me a PM.

Good luck

Cory

Very much not the case. summer 64 is worth about 1/2 of what a 5A- 5D is. Also after 6D not so much

I guess that I should have been more clear in my original comment. The OP was asking for an original OR repop fan. My focus was more toward the price differential of an original verses reproduction. Sorry for causing so much controversy. Its good to see that folks are paying attention, however.
