Note on Stock Photos: Due to our inventory of multiple identical units for this specific part number, we utilize representative stock photos for this listing. You will receive a component that strictly meets all listed specifications and fitment requirements. Please be aware that because these are vintage parts, minor cosmetic variations—such as surface finish, color, or production markings—may exist between different manufacturing runs. These slight aesthetic differences are a result of historical production processes and do not impact the part's integrity, performance, or authenticity.
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
We scour the country to find the best deals on NOS and NORS parts so we can pass the savings on to you. Our prices are often significantly lower than major competitors. All items are vintage stock, manufactured decades ago by aftermarket leaders like Moog but never installed. As such, original packaging may show signs of shelf wear (dust, fading, or tape), and unpainted metal components may have minor surface-level oxidation that does not affect performance. For NORS parts, please note these are vintage components manufactured by reputable aftermarket brands decades ago but never installed.
