Ok, Dan, this is where I get somewhat confused. On your very last sentence at post #22. you say,  "Example: In last month quite a few AC Cars or just British made service parts from the 1970s and 1980s have shown up for sale on ebay® as "NOS".

But according to some reading info here, service parts are NOS.

Bob's reply to me at post #21......    Your bumper is NOS but the date code being after production of the car in question makes it a service part in context to a assemblyline part. It is still New Old Stock however.  Of course we all understand my bumper is not assemblyline.

This is where confusion comes in. What is correct? I'm sure we all agree that a genuine ford service replacement part is in fact NOS??....

Now I'm not talking about repop here at all !!!  Repop is not in this discussion at all.

Thanks 

Thanks to all!!  for years I get so many conflicting descriptions about NOS, service replacement. Now, NORS, etc,.

These posts are very informative and I am still trying to learn and/or teach myself about such descriptions of parts everywhere on the car. Sometimes at a Mustang/Shelby function, I try to listen and learn from, whom I presume are the Best in the business.  But, sometimes I leave the show after a big weekend, as confused as before the weekend started.

I do understand that this can be an ongoing discussion, but thats what these forums are for, and I'm going to be the first to say, I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Shelbys and Mustangs.

Thanks to all and accept my apology for being so impatient!!!  I'm sure it happens to many of us.

Keep the discussion going cause I haven't stopped reading yet!!!

Thanks 2112 and KR Convt for your responses, very much appreciated.


Uhh,  And Thanks to the others for posting to #2 ??

Hey Bob, I knew you'd be here after post #2....


Again Thanks Mr. Case

Huh??? LOL.  Now, we start getting responses.

But, only from my #2 post.

Thanks Mr. Case.  Your description is appreciated.

Funny, this thread has been read 85 times and nobody has answered but you!!!

And some wonder where this forum is heading!!!

I hear the words service replacement parts and also assemblyline parts here quite often. So we all know we would rather restore our cars with assemblyline correct parts.  I'm no expert by no means of the imagination, but is a service replacement part considered NOS and/or OTC?

Sometimes I get confused as to what the real definition of "service replacement" is. I do know that when a person back in those days went to the Ford parts department, and received a part, that part IS a service replacement, but still is considered NOS??  That's where I have trouble on occasion.

I have a front bumper on my 69 that is a Ford replacement with a date code of 1980.  So, is it still considered NOS but also a service replacement?

Keep them coming, these photos are awesome!!! 

I like the trailer to the right center. Lol, looks like a trailer you'd haul a piece of farm equipment on.
