I would love to have that scattershield, which is possibly the more "correct" term for this thing, since the standard bellhousings were cast aluminum. I suggest you advertise it on E-Bay to get the market price. Advertise it as a "289 Cobra Scattershield bellhousing". perhaps. Mention "GT 350" and "hipo 289" in the ad since the scattershield is a very desirable piece to have on those cars. They are cast iron. Just try picking one up! I have owned one that has been "used" when a clutch exploded, and it did the job, although the force seriously distorted the scattershield. It did not crack. I have sold some in the past for $500 to $1000. Yours could be at the upper end of that, I think, although the ones I sold were 5-bolt, which are much rarer, so maybe less.
