Default 67-69 NOS radiator core support question?

Does the core support in this auction look like a NOS piece. Should the GM sticker have a bar code on it? Looks pretty new to me. The reason I ask is because I'm bidding on it and want to make sure it's legit. Thanks Richard Core support

Yes, core support is legit. NOS doesn't mean it is 35 years old. That piece was made before they discontinued them from GM and the sticker is correct for the year it was made before being discontinued.

We bought a similar unit for our Z28.
We're very happy with it.

Keep in mind there were several revisions to 67-69 core supports, and an NOS piece is not necessarily identical to the factory installed piece... depending on the level of restoration you are doing, you may want to take this into consideration. In any case, any GM piece is better than a repro.

Joe is correct with this. We spent a considerable amount of time studying Jerry M's book. Also, numerous questions were answered here.

Good Luck, email me if you need addition help.

For that item you might as well buy the repo, as it looks exactly the same... including the "wrinkly" look to the front side of the upper bar.

I disagree, there a few noticable differences between the repop and GM piece. Especially where the holes are located for the rubber radiator insert washers. Plus some repops are drilled incorrectly for the washer bottle and the regulator.

For correctness go GM, for who cares and it's a driver go repop.

I'm gonna try and restore the 68 Z28 that I just bought as correct as I possibly can. I bought Jerry MacNeish's book and it's been really neat to read what the correct parts are supposed to be, then go look at the car and find that it has the correct one. I actually was bidding on two core supports and won the other one. It looks like an earlier version and the sticker has no bar code.
