I know where this first edition upper radiator hose is going and the owner isn't at all afraid to step up to the plate and buy the necessary NOS parts for a car. The piece is going on a one owner '68 L78 Camaro with the original (born with) motor and lots of paperwork. A nice factory "no radio" L78 that roamed the streets of Chicago looking for action for years but now undergoing a correct restoration. He also owns the black '67 Z28 that was featured in the Chicago Muscle collection at the Vettefest, a car that has received its share of expensive, NOS parts.
I'm fortunate enough to own one of the '67 427 Corvettes from his collection and he's willing to buy whatever is needed for a car, even a $1,500 first edition upper radiator hose. When and if the L78 Camaro sells, it will bring "all the money" because of the various parts that will make this car amazing.
