In a word, no. If I buy a made in Taiwan repro part through a Chevy dealership, its still a Taiwan repro part. I'm very surprised they even repro'd these in 1977, let alone sold them at Chevy dealerships...If anyone wants one like that I can get as many as you want in Carlisle next week for 5.00 a pop. FYI, NOS GM plates weren't shrink wrapped, the gold ones nor the red/white/blue ones, so both of the ones mentioned are repros. P.O.S. maybe, but not N.O.S.
