Pie tins gone CRAZY!

[6PKRTSE]

I paid $50.00 and $60.00 for the last 2 new in the box 440 and 440 TNT tins I purchased.

the original ones were made by a local company. My dad made the stamping dies for them. I think they scraped the tooling years ago

Hi, this is the first that some have been made in WI. I had spoke with a couple of people that claimed they were made in some town in north eastern Iowa. Thanks, Dan

Hi, who did you buy them from for that price? Thx Dan

 

[Dan Hinton]

Did pie tins become discontinued, for some reason? Who TF would pay $1,500 for one?

My low ball offer failed:

Yes, the orange " Magnum " Pie Tin started with the Coronet RT in 1967. The only other way to get a Magnum Pie Tin is if you ordered a Dodge Charger " L ' code in '67. The "440 Super Commando" with the Silver background started in 1967 on the Plymouth GTX.

@erickson
Who printed/stamped them? Duratech? McCloones? Doubt Spartek would have done those. I used to know folks at all of them....but they're probably all retired (or worse) by now.....

Yes, 340 and 383 pie tins can still be easily found. It is the 440 that are becoming Rare.

Any word on a new vendor for these?

As far as I know, Mopar Performance has decided to discontinue making these. Licensed Mopar reproduction companies have decided not to reproduce them because Mopar Performance wants $50,000 just for the Production Rights which " doesn't even " include a per piece royalty fee. Due to MP's feeling that it would take this much for them to produce them again, I don't believe we will ever see these produced again by a company in the US. It would be really nice if we could get someone who currently works at Mopar Performance to respond to us about this issue. If anyone knows anyone who works there, please have them provide us with an update. I was fortunate enough to see this coming so I bought some NOS pie tins and Reproduction ones ahead of time. So, I have some of both but the prices can be high.

These things are now as bad as '69 GTX trim. I replaced the orange one on my early build car with a Mopar Performance red one, new in the box, for $100 last year. Now looks like the deal of a lifetime. Sold an orange MP new in the box for $200, and I'm now thinking that holding onto it would have been a better investment than anything in my current portfolio.

You don't even get any pie with them for that price! I'm thinking Carmel covered cheesecake, or banana cream pie!

I'd be careful when ordering the banana cream...... just sayin'

 

[chargervert]

For that price, I would be expecting the American Pie happy ending! Lol
