Default Re: NOS Panels like '69 Z-28

The NOS full quarters that I have are metal date stamped and the repos I have had in the past were not.
That is usually what I check for, if I dont have my mics with me.
The part sticker isn't a certain thing either. A few years ago there was a guy selling the stickers and boxes, after someone would buy the OEM panels from him.
I can't remember his name, but he had a huge ad in Hemmings.

Even so, this is mostly a money game, so just like there are fake trim tags, fake POP's and fake engine stampings, there most certainly are fake date stamps for the metal body parts.

I place the likelyhood of somebody finding a true old NOS Camaro fender at 2%, and a full quarter at probably around 20%... just my gut feel, based on the observed consumption rate.

Hmmmmm..................................

I have two 67 full quarters, part number sticker on them, in original GM boxes. No date code or die number stamp on them. However, the part number is clearly in the deck lid closing area. They are coated with thin, cheap, dull black primer.

Are they NOS?
