The parts are legit. One major seller has a ton of NOS sheet metal. More and more NOS parts will be hitting the market as the older guys get out of the hobby. So, that is good news for people that want OEM Mopar.
China is the enemy.

Have to be careful in this day of the $$ is everything. Several years back some "NOS" Cuda trunk pans seemed plentiful at a major show. After one sold, out would come another one. Red oxide Primer and silkscreened number looked a little too fresh.
I've even found the odd vendor to have repro parts in NOS part numbered Mopar boxes. I agree Terry, you've got to be VERY careful when you're parting with your cash. I saw at the Nats this last year that there seemed to be three different big time vendors that were working it together. I think there is more than a little collusion going on with these three guys. I think that one guy will have NOS this or that (that really isn't NOS, it's just made to look that way), and the other two clowns will sell his NOS crap that really isn't. If you guys that are doing this are reading this, well, the jig is up. I at least know who you three clowns are, and the thing is, you have NO idea who I am. I look for the die stamp numbers on NOS sheet metal pieces from the early 70's. I believe there should always be these stamps on sheet metal pieces, even if it's lightly stamped? Has anyone else seen this on the true NOS pieces?

Has anyone else seen this on the true NOS pieces? I think the word "always" should be used carefully when addressing Chrysler OE parts from the 70s. Case in point, I had probably the last NOS quarter panel for a 70RR convertible in captivity until it went on my car in 2011. Nobody has ever reproduced them. This panel had a stenciled part number, no die stamp anywhere.

I can say with certainty that any of these items being discussed here are not AMD pieces stripped, primed and numbered. The "NOS" trunk floors appeared a while before AMD arrived on the scene. The "NOS" tailpanels ..likely around the same time frame Watch for more "NOS" coming to a show near you

^^Lol, so the tail panels that you are talking about do not have the dye stampings? ....for now, once this thread gets read, they'll likely get added.
