It's not as valuable as it would've been if it wasn't shaven.They sell this same shaved down design today on the reproduction market under the #914 number,(the last of the 3 #'s issued for this shroud),that has other minor differences on it as well.
So price?..comparable to todays repro price I've seen when shaven.The unshaven is the more sought after and higher price.
Here are photos of an original unshaven #165 on a 1970 Chevelle 3 row radiator.Last 2 pics show the bottom..
See where it actually touches the radiator core on the drivers side,as well as on the bottom lip.That's what's been shaved off of yours to fit a 4 row.
1970 Chevelle big block 2 & 3 row,and 1969 Chevelle big block 2 & 3 row,all used this unshaven #165 shroud .
