I knew I absolutely had to do what I could to get it as my build needed both. And the time came it sold with a pile of 88-98 tailgates for only $35 they both were in amazing shape I paid the auctioneer and I quickly ran out of there. But, I quickly learned that it was a Day 2 NOS and not assembly line NOS. But, I'm not gonna be that exactly picky and as stated by previous people in this thread I have to do some painting to make it look kosher for 70. It's never for sale but I would not buy another one for anything more than $35 |
Well if that aint approaching 100x inflation, plus tailgates too
deal.
What's day 2 NOS mean? I'd be guessing GM replacements. Perhaps on topic, I have an NOS 71-72 inner grille with IMO a factory flaw, one vertical comb isn't straight. Some day I'll pull it down, heat that up some, clamp it flat.
