Great story! When dealer parts were mentioned, it reminded me of when I was restoring my '69 300 in the mid 80's. I needed a new front valance for under the bumper, since mine was bent and rusted out. I went to Roseville C.P. to see if I could still get one. The parts guy checked, and sure enough there was only ONE left in the system! After it came in a week or so later, he told me that particular part number had now gone NS1. I got extremely lucky when I ordered it at that time.
