[Leadhead]

Absolutely not, in my opinion.

 

[marcrose]

Possibly,when you install it ,if it fits perfect a deal,if it doesnt fit good,later stamp and not worth the money.A crapshoot.

 

[Humberd]

Seems like a lot 💰💰💰 to me but the repos are not the best 🤷‍♂️

The ad shows this sticker below ,with all kinds of crusty crud around it. And the pictures of the fenders dont even show this sticker on the fenders themselves? Could it be that the fenders were resprayed to look better than they really are? Most likely couldnt remove the pictured sticker without damaging them, and took the pictures of them first, and maybe did get damaged trying to take them off???
Sorry , but Im so leery of everything these days.

Looks like they do have GM stickers on them so probably those folks with a lot of money and pay just for numbers only will be interested in them.

 

[azchevs]

Totally worth it, they look in great shape being most NOS was left over after the assembly line used the better stuff. Cheap RePOOP stuff will never fit right, time spent with shops charging by the hour, there goes 2-3 hours each saved.

I have a 68, and I might would think about it if I was closer, but my concern would be fit. As others have alluded, I have always heard a lot of the NOS 68’ fenders were leftovers that had been culled. I have no idea if true, but that would be my concern. Lot of money if it doesn’t fit any better than the Taiwanese repos

So where did the other labels I showed with the rust go?
As per GM original part stickers, I had a pair of NOS 66 Nova fenders that I put on my car. Those stickers came of real easy as the glue dried up and were easily removed. My thought when I took them off, how easy it would be for some crook to just put these stickers on aftermarket fenders and sell them as NOS. I even had the boxes .. And be truthful, this is exactly what concerned me after I got them home, and just then got that thought. Will they fit? Luckily they were real, and fit like a glove.

1K per fender? They are asking 1,300 to 1,500 each on eBay. Deal.

If I was building a '68 & needed fenders, I'd be all over this deal. I refuse to use chinese sheetmetal on outer body panels. A floor pan, fine, but not for a door, fender, qtr.

The box sticker does not get applied to the fender because it is an order sticker. They don't open the box, pull the fender, and apply a sticker. That is plain foolish. The GM sticker inside the fender is what one should expect to see.

Cheap RePOOP stuff will never fit right, time spent with shops charging by the hour, there goes 2-3 hours each saved. GM didn't double ship fenders to and from the assembly line, to the distribution centers, then out to dealers.

That's decades old BS. New fenders were available very early for repairs, collisions, and such so the dealers and body shops could replace if required. GM didn't triple ship fenders to the assembly lines, then ship them to the distribution centers, then the dealers. Pure nonsense.

I have two full quarters for a 1970 El Camino. Bought them at Kenny Ross Chevrolet , Irwin,Pa. Bought them In the early eightys,,, Both are in the Black & Gold G.M. boxes ( They go up into the roof). In 1979 I paid $ 125.00 for the right & $127.00 for the left. I asked my buddy ( parts man) why the difference of two dollars? The left side has a punch out for the gas door.
They are paid for and they dont eat, So they will stay here for a while.

 

[AK71SS]

Nope! I stay away from CL; too many scams. I'd ask to see in person and see what the response is.

 

[Jim Mac]

if I needed them, the map shows its only about 15 min away. fortunately I don't need them, just posted it for discussion. Gotta remember locally stuff don't sell for ebay prices around here. jim

I didnt realize they were the box order stickers. Thats all you had to say. . What's plain foolish are your explanations using "plain foolish", " thats decades old BS", and "pure nonsense", (to "azchevs" comment). Hows it feel to be a know-it all?

Wasn't even attempting to be a know it all. Don't take it personally it wasn't directed at you, just the statements. Just putting out some facts and dispelling old BS, nothing more. No sense propagating BS. Have been ordering parts from GM since the seventies, that is until the great recession closed down the Chevy dealers that I dealt with, and even one over that was over 100 years old.

His reply might've been direct & blunt, but I think you're overreacting here. Not putting words in anyone's mouth, but I read that as him speaking in generalities not at you in particular.

Regardless, there's no reason to get so fired up on a message board. Life is too short & it's not worth the stress.
