Lot of parts aren't reproduced, and some that are reproduced, are clearly reproductions when put side by side with an original piece. I prefer original parts when putting a car together, especially if it's a survivor. Finding nice survivor parts always will always command a premium. Remember, the stuff isn't out there like it used to be 20 or even 10 years ago. The guys that do parts full time are out there every day finding stuff buried in garages or rifling through parts showing up at swap meets, going to estate sales or auctions, and driving all over the country to find stuff to make available to the public to help finish a restoration. That time and effort has to be worth something. If you're so concerned about "ridiculous asking prices", then I suggest you get out there and find the parts yourself and buy low.
