experts , paughhhh
as i work on the window in my 65 i noticed on the back of the originial "NCRS judge" certified survivor interior door panel the date stamp April 77. I paid $500 for that guy and i got a nice enough car but man i don't think he had a clue about anything.

Could well have been a GM service replacement part, made by Findlay Industries (the production supplier) which was the same as the originals until they were discontinued in the late 70's; the repros are easy to spot, as they're hard molded plastic. No way to tell the GM service replacements from the production parts without pulling them off and looking at the date stamp on the back side.

John's correct. You can't blame the guy for not being able to tell a 27 year old 100% correct part from a 39 year old 100% correct part. 
The service replacements are identical, unlike the repro's. Chuck

maybe, but there are no whiskers on it and the bolts that hold it
on under the armrest weren't there. and where never there as the holes where closed over, basicly the door was glued on. while i'm at it the charging system didn't work, the alignment was so out of whack it was redicules, the rear end wasn't the posi it was supposed to be nor was it the 3.73 it was supposed to be, whatever cam is in the engine it sure as hell isn't the 327/300 cam it's supposed to be, the leather seats it supposedly has are vynil, the teak steering wheel is plastic, the distributor was out of phase, the working clock dosen't ,the turn signels don't all work, everytime i go to work on something, somthing else pops up. it is a running car with a nice body. when i pull the engine i'll give a close lookat my matching numbers but as of now i didn't need a $500 expert to tell me it didn't have a rusty frame
