Typical thing I see. I pretty much ignore almost every "NOS" part. 10 year old repop os not NOS.

I've really had good luck on ebay, but I know what I'm looking for and pay little to no attention to what the poster claims!

Who else watched them? $815 and the seller had added alittle to fhe description but in a way to not admit they were not NOS but just to try and protect themselves. Their actual knowledge of what they are selling is limited . They got some junk 39 standard front fenders listed as 39 deluxe and all 40 fords.

What a ripoff! That's about what the Bob Drake boards sell for and those are very good reproductions without the flaws of those so-called "NOS" boards.

Sometimes people have blinders on and get cought up in the bidding, then wind up paying way more than they should.

Recently bought a NOS door latch for my 39 PU. When it arrived, it was so rusted that I had to soak it in ATM & acetone for 2 days to get it to work. I see a locking spare tire hubcap on ebay now. If you look close you c an see a hole drilled through the stainless steel and the clips that hold the lock door closed are missing. Seller admits that the lock is missing. This is wall art only and could not be repaired with out another hubcap to rob parts from.

Lots of wall art out there for sale if you're not too fussy about decoration.

Bubsyouruncle · 04-19-2016, 07:42 PM

How can you sell something as NOS if it is rusty? I guess, if it had never been installed or used and sat out on your back porch for 60 years it could qualify.

DavidG · 04-19-2016, 08:15 PM

After 80+ years some rust is commonplace on new parts that old unless boxed and having spent their time in a dry environment. If you hold out for parts that are perfect in all respects it can be a long wait.

An uncle of mine bought a defunct Ford agency years ago. The machine tools and newer parts sold, but the NOS Model T fenders didn't and went with the building. Due to the leaky roof, they were rusty. This sale was in the 60s, I saw the fenders in the attic of the building in the 80s.

I personally think the buyer is the decision maker on whether they believe a part is NOS on eBay. Some sellers truly don't know any better. However if they are informed otherwise they should make it clear. I imagine (know) this seller was informed they were not NOS. Best to buy from a seller that accepts returns just in case.
