NOS Trunk Weatherstrip

I would agree with you, Tommy. Here's one theory to explain why. Consider that the restored Camaro, once sold, is still in existance and may very well be back on the market some time in the future. On the other hand, once NOS parts are sold, they are most likely intended to be installed on a restoration project rather than sold again.

Its really a matter of supply. In short, the supply of NOS parts declines as they get sold and most of them get used up, whereas the supply of restored Camaros does not, as they have the potential to reappear on the market.

Rainer,

Excellent job of putting it into perspective. The correctly restored cars with these "assembly line" parts will most likely bring the type of money to justify their cost.

The weatherstrip in the auction is, as some of you have already mentioned, an early NOS piece which is identical to assembly line trunk weather stripping. In fact, I just removed the original yesterday from my 69 Z/28 and it was identical to the weather stripping in the auction.
