Everyday is Christmas
I received two Santa's today.
Pair of NOS tail lenses I didn't need, but the price was so good I couldn't pass it up. Plus they have the 71 (correct) markings. It seems the NOS out there are mostly marked 67, including the pair I had already bought. No boxes with the 71s, but wrapped in plastic and pristine. Unless someone is making an exact repro., which I doubt, they're OEM. Estate sale. NOS tailgate handle molding still in box. The guy said the chrome was perfect, and he wasn't lying. Well worth what I paid for it. Christmas is expensive. It's a blast though. I've bought a ton of NOS parts over the last two months. Only the door weatherstrips have been a disappointment (e.g., LH side with a RH part number.....Hilarious). I couldn't send them back fast enough.

Used NOS is an oxymoron. Not to say you're mistaken. I've picked up a few "genuine" NOS parts off this board (upper/lower moldings, some lenses).

Re: Everyday is Christmas
True story. I really need to get 21st century and take some pictures. I don't even carry a cell phone. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff I've bought is packed pretty deep. I think I'll get in the game once the real work begins. Just waiting on the painter to drop off the bed. He finally called me, left a message.........Ha!........This will be a long process, I figure three years (body/paint guy claims 8 months, once he starts). Nice young man (35), Apache Indian. He doesn't know this will body off yet. Such good timing. I retire in 13.5 months.
