Note on Stock Photos: Due to our volume of identical, interchangeable inventory, we use representative stock photos for this model. The image is for reference only and may depict a specific manufacturer (e.g., 'AC'). You will receive a part that meets all listed specifications, which may be from the manufacturer shown or a fully equivalent alternative.
A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research and cross-reference our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs. While we strive for 100% accuracy, these decades-old resources—and the humans reading them—can occasionally contain errors. Additionally, these parts may fit other vehicles and years not explicitly listed in our data. To ensure a seamless restoration, we kindly ask that you perform your own due diligence and verify that this specific part number is correct for your application prior to purchase.
Unbeatable Prices & Expectations
This is a New Old Stock (NOS) item, meaning it is a genuine vintage part manufactured decades ago but never installed on a vehicle. As with all vintage automotive inventory, the original packaging may show significant signs of "shelf wear," including dust, tearing, or discoloration. The part itself may have minor surface oxidation or cosmetic imperfections from years of storage that do not affect its mechanical integrity. We take great pride in offering these hard-to-find components at competitive prices to help keep your classic on the road.
