NOS

Caveats: parts sent to the bins were sometimes assembly-line rejects (“seconds”), so not always as good as what went on the car; and many are “shelf-worn” after years in warehouses and at swap meets. Watch for scammers who keep the original NOS box and sell a used part in it — a tell is being asked whether you mind not getting the box.
