Parts sold on this site will be priced based on availability to me. With the following hierarchy(most expensive to cheapest) :
NOS (New Old Stock)
New Old Stock means the part number is discontinued and no longer available from General Motors.
N.O.S. parts are new, unused and unrestored. They usually have a part # on them and may have surface rust and/or shelf wear.
Pricing reflects rarity, quality and demand for the part.
OEM (New)
New unused part available from GM. May be discontinued at any time.
Usually comes with the part number attached and may have shelf wear depending on packaging.
Prices are close to GM's. (savings are in time and hassle of ordering and trips to dealership)
OEM (restored)
Used original parts that have been cleaned, repaired and painted or plated.
Paint may not be correct as most parts were natural, plated of specially coated.
Prices reflect the investment of time and money to restore an item.
OEM (used)
Used original unrestored parts taken from a production vehicle.
Priced by rarity, condition and quality of reproductions.
Reproduction
Copy of an Original (OEM) part. May not look identical to OEM, but should fit and function as original.
Priced by cost and competitors pricing. Savings can be realized by my comparisons to OEM to assure your satisfaction (shipping and return shipping are rarely refunded).
