There's a guy in one of the FSJ groups that started making re-pops. I think that drastically dropped the value of originals. I have a couple crusty Gladiator grilles from my FSJ days, 2 years ago, I was getting $3-500 offers for them, now I'm back around $100ish when I drag them out.

I'm all for it...but what I don't know is if he received appropriate licensing. When I was doing my Ford history books from original Ford Fact Manuals/Brochures/MPC's, I got hit with a C&D or was given a $100k licensing option. I was able to work with Kevin Marti and Dennis Carpenter to do a couple short runs, piggybacking off their licenses...but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for them.

I remember this from when I had my '83 J-10 a few years back.

He was making fiberglass reproductions I think on FSJA forum.

Who would he get a license from? A bankrupt and long gone company?
