Actual Item Photos: Please look over the pictures carefully, as they depict the exact item you will receive. We utilize high-resolution photos of our current physical inventory rather than generic stock images so you can verify the specific condition, markings, and authenticity of this vintage part prior to purchase.
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. Please note that this is a vintage part manufactured by an aftermarket brand decades ago but never installed; minor shelf wear consistent with age is normal and should be expected. For NORS items, the brand represented is a vintage aftermarket leader from the era.
