Peter,
This is a bit of a tough question. I'm sure that if someone has an NOS one that is still in the wrapper, that is resonably worth $200 or more. For a used one, it depends. Although the plastic is a type that can be repaired fairly easily (there was a good article in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car a while ago on repairing plastic parts), the first thing is to make sure that all the plastic tab at the top center where the grille screws onto the radiator support is there. The next weak spot is the thin vertical strips that act as spacers between the horizontal bars. As mentioned, if parts are cracked they can be repaired, but make sure all the plastic is there. The plastic can easily be refinished to look like new (sand/polish the black bars, silver spray paint/clear coat for the silver parts). The metal trim strips and the badges can be sanded polished if they are not too badly pitted. So, I can imagine a used one being anywhere from $20 for something that has all the parts but would require complete refinishing up to $100 or more for something really pristine.
Hope that helps!
Gary
