Around 1984 or so I became old enough to earn a wage. I started working with my older brother at a local greenhouse. When the salt went away that spring I pulled up in my 1972 Chevelle. My boss, the owner of the place sees the car, runs up, and starts tapping on the fenders behind the wheels - for you desert guys that is where these cars rusted out first here in the rust belt.

He sees how solid they are and says,
"Dang!"
I said what do you mean, Dang?!? Those fenders are solid. He says,
"I have a replacement fender in the basement and sold the car years ago. I'd let it go for $75".
Since I was 16 and didn't have a pot to pee in and didn't know there are people out there who like to decorate their storage facilities with NOS parts still in their GM boxes I just said sorry, I don't need it.
Around 1989 or 1990 I was no longer working there but had a bit more money in my pocket and picked up a 71 Chevelle convertible. It needed that fender. I drove out there and asked if he had it and how much.
He said he did and how much did he ask for the first time.
I said $75. He said $75 is it then.

Soooo...
Long story short I got a NOS LF fender for a 1971/1972 Chevelle for $75. Unlike you guys that like to keep this stuff for some reason and not use it I took it out of the box, bolted it on the car, and threw the box away. The only pictures I have of it are with it covered in Mulsanne Blue - in my opinion the best looking color the general ever put on a Chevelle.

A few years ago, Custom Classic Trucks magazine had an article about rare and NOS stuff for the '67-72's. The last thing they showed was a gas cap. Yeah, the bright stainless steel cap that has nothing else on it. Think about it....how many do you think have been lost at service stations in the 44 years since the '67's first came out? I still have my OEM cap. Do you?

We need to realize this is a hobby and a business for many of us. NOS is always something that can be sold or used for trade bait. I have have two NOS GM CB radios. Do I neeed two...No but if in the future I want to sell or use it for trade I can. I would venture to say the NOS purchased off this site is less $$$ than ebay. NOS is also an investment for some parts while other parts it's not. So I understand why people collect, sale, and trade NOS parts.
