how much is an original 69 RR disc brake setup worth?

[GearAddict]

I have a lead on a set of knuckles, calipers, brackets and rotors. Wondering what the value is roughly considering the seem to be fairly rare.

condition is everything with these parts. very $$$ to rebuild. need more condition info to price them.

I think it really depends if someone is putting together a hemi car coded for the Bendix disc brakes and is missing all that stuff. Otherwise they probably aren't worth much more than a set of 70 and later discs. Or even less when you factor in how much it costs to make them right. The rotors are very expensive and the calipers almost always need to be sleeved. If you don't have to have them for a restoration, stay away from them.

Thanks, I don't need them (I have a newer kit on it's way) I was just curious, because the price for the whole set-up is very cheap...was thinking about stashing them away or re-selling.

I have been buying them when they are cheap for 30 yrs. only because my 68 is a disc brake car. Also AMC's of the era used the same calipers and rotors. My most recent purchase was a rusty set from a 69 RR for $75.00. Everything between the upper and lower BJ's. The hard part is finding the good Bendix booster.

Meep, be careful on the AMC ones. They used the same caliper casting numbers but they won't fit. The caliper halves on the AMC were machined more than Mopars and the gap between the pistons is smaller. The AMC caliper won't fit over a Mopar disc. I went through this back about 2000 or so with my GTX. The rebuilder sent me a set of AMC ones by mistake. It was quite an ordeal until I put one next to the other for comparison.
