That's a good question. Generally an item is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it as long as you are willing to accept it. In the case of car body parts there are a lot of variables. You should search for similar items that have recently sold to get an idea of where to begin then take into account that anyone needing them will have to spend time and money to make them usable for their purpose (shipping costs, media stripping, repair, paint, etc.). If you are buying think about costs involved other than the parts and if selling don't get invested in what someone says its worth or you may be the proud owner of something taking up space that you never use for some time to come.

I would try a salvage parts search like this link,

You might get lucky. My guess is they are rare, even guys who replace them with fiberglass will keep the originals in case they ever want to sell the car. I know I would not buy a gs with a fb hood unless the steel hood came with.

I could use these parts. How good of condition is the hood? Send me pics. Mine was stole and I am waiting on insurance now.

J-man, are you buying or selling?
Does the GS hood have all of the inserts for the scoops?
Original GS hoods sell for a big price range, depending on condition, mainly rust. Anywhere from 125 to 800. An average hood, with no inserts is probably $400.
Spoiler, new reproductions are $225 to $400
