Looks like a legitimate 'shell' on the starter. Can't say how the 'guts' are made. It could have refurbed original internals; or it could be outfitted with aftermarket guts designed to fit into a stock housing.
One would have to buy one and take it apart to know for sure.

Just trying to find out if the casing looks legit? Is there anyway to tell if its a restamp? Does the front or nose look period correct? Does the solenoid look correct? The internals are what they are....thx

My car is mostly all original. Just missing a few very commonly changed out items. So I plan on acquiring these items for later purposes.... I plan on keeping as original as possible and only doing mods (Like tires and wheels, maybe side pipes) that can easily me swapped back to original when I am done playing...
