Re: [Chevelle-list] 64 SS hubcap on ebay - Wow! (Hood Spear)

Was this piece EVER reproduced at one time?I've seen this in the VW scene before.  Sometimes really rare parts got offered in the 70's and 80's, but they didn't sell well, and the company either goes under, gets bought out, or just plain forgets they had it reproduced.  Now it is NORS.  New Old Reproduction Stock.  I swear, I'm not making this up, LOL.   Maybe this was bought long ago as a repop, but never used, and now it is no longer offered in the catalogs.   Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out my 502 powered '65 Malibu Super Sport Project http://www.65ss.com ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 5:52 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 64 SS hubcap on ebay - Wow! (Hood Spear) It is actually a very contradictory ad. It says:   “The last time I checked, none of the restoration part suppliers offered this item in their catalog. This molding is a brand new, never installed reproduction part.”   So, if none of the restoration part suppliers offer it, how can it be a repro? Did the guy make it himself in his basement or something?       -----Original Message-----   The hood spear ad does say it's a repro.  I'm just curious if NOBODY has it yet, how did he come by it?  If it's prototype, I'd wait a few months for the production unit to be available...probably for much less than the $400 this sold for.   "This molding is a brand new, never installed reproduction part."   Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709/NECOA #41 DalesPlace  My 67 El Camino ChevelleStuff  Decoding info on 64-72 Chevelles MidwestChevelles  Midwest Chevelle Show Information
