Re: What does "original" mean?

Original: Unrestored, unmodified, as it was from the day it left the dealership.

To me, the most misused term in the hobby is NOS (New, Old stock).
A brand new reproduction part is NOT NOS.
A rusty, original part pulled from a parts car is NOT NOS.
NOS means that the part is an original GM part, in it's original GM packaging, and is unused (never installed).

Sorry, that term drives me nuts when it's misinterpreted.
