A buddy has an alternator that he was getting ready to turn in as a car at the parts store for $12. Luckily, he asked me about , its 3438172 with a 243 date. Have not seen the star burst yet to verify as 70 or 70. Has single pulley.
What is a fair price for it as a good core?
I need one for my 71 440 GTX with AG.
Thanks Chris

If it is a very nice confirmed 70-71 core they go for $100 or more on this site typically.

Thanks Chris 243 is not the date code. That's an assembly line code. The date code is much fainter and is in a month / year like 3 70 or 10 69

12 bucks sounds fair to a buddy..

Thats what he did, sold it to me for $12. I'll pick it up in a week or 2. I thought he said it was a 70, but won't know until I see the actual date on it. Nice score!

I got really lucky recently, a buddy bought a parts car and there was a rebuilt alternator in the trunk, still in the rebuilders box. It was a 172 with a 44 69 date code. Freebie to me, but won’t be for long, once Jim Ridge is done with it👍

I am "back." Had a special contact lens made for my left eye. So you're right half looks really good...just kidding, just kidding. We have quite the backlog but will work with the customer to try and meet his or her needs. I really appreciate y'alls patience as I work through this challenge and hope to be back to normal scheduling in 6 to 8 months. Again, many thanks! Jim Ridge & Thomas Livingston - Dixie Restorations Great news! I'm sorting through all my parts right now for all my cars so I'll send out another alt to you hopefully next week. Thanks Chris
