Made an awesome find today! Got all of this NOS stuff plus a used '68 original front bumper for $50! Anyone know what any of this stuff may be worth? Everything has its tag still on it and most still have bag/box. Everything was purchased in '78. All the parts are for a '68 but im curious as to why the outer compartment doors carpet are a different material than the middle one? Also had a set of NOS '68 door handles and NOS rockers for the later year cars with the chrome! NOS Later year rocker panels, nos 68 rear compartments with all hinges and seal, nos 68 door handles and more
Wow! Thats amazing! Maybe I should go pick up the other set he had in the garage lol, had no idea how much some of this NOS stuff sold for.
OEM & over the counter NOS parts for a 68 bought in 78 most likely are not exactly the same. A lot of parts that were installed on the Corvettes were not sold over the counter. They sold service parts

Anything in a GM box is going to be a lot better than any Chinese repo we get now a days. Go buy it all and list it here for us!!!
And most 68 stuff could possibly be a one year only part which bumps its price.
Back in that era, US auto makers were required to have replacement parts stock available for a lengthy period. I think it was 8 or 10 years....can't remember for sure. I'd wager a pretty good sum of money that a GM P/N for 1968 rocker panel would get you the real deal, back then.
Do the outside door handles have the inside area painted silver?
Starting in about 75 the door handles/pulls had the inside area painted silver VS originals which are frosted chrome.

Believe you would loss the bet. I know that 1970 factory installed rockers are NOT the same as the over the counter I bought from a Chevy dealer in 1980. Trim rings are not the same also. I could go on & on.
After you inventory what you have will any 68 parts be available?
Thank you

Door handles will be for sale. He told me that the reason he got the chrome 70s rocker panels over the originals on the 68s and 69s was because he liked them better. I have a '69 and the '68 handles are 1 year only so I have no use for them lol
