NOS Parts

If you are restoring your car, the best parts to look for are new, old stock parts. The term "nos" is often used improperly. I have decided to show you some true NOS parts. Personally, I think it is a good idea to steer clear of NOS parts without their original packaging unless you are very knowledgeable.

Please keep in mind in most cases these are service replacement parts. These parts are not always the same as the production line parts.

These parts are not for sale.






NOS 68 hubcaps are unique and have a special center hub. The part number is S8MS-1132-A. If they are boxed individually, they are service hubcaps. These are super hard to find. I offered to take the spare one, but I am still waiting for a reply.




Here is one of the Shelby Unique headlight brackets. This one is S8MS-8B322-A.




This is the front license plate bracket- a rare find NOS. S8MS-17A385-A




This is a pair of big block valve covers. The original boxes say S7MS-6A582-A.




The box has seen better days, but the early style chrome frame is in good condition. The part number is S8MS-15A436-A. These chrome frames were not used on the Mustangs.




This bracket is unique to 1968 Shelbys and used to mount the headlight. There are three other similar brackets. This one is part number S8MS-13101-A.



According to the 1975 Ford Master Parts Catalog the saddle steering wheel pad was never serviced. It must have been for a short period of time, because this is the real deal.








I believe the wheel cylinder is the same for all cars. Note the small bleeder screw.






1968 Shelbys used two different reflectors on the rear quarter panels. This is the later style. The part is also used on Mercury Cougars. Cougars used a plastic pad between the body and the reflector. The Mustang/Shelby does not use this pad. The attaching parts are two rubber filled pal nuts.

You might also notice the date on this package. Ford continued to supply parts up until about the year 2000.






This is a rare piece. A NOS grille. The shipping label shows the part number S8MS-8210-A. This part was originally shipped to Ted Schultz Ford in New York. The original grilles are a lighter gauge metal than the reproductions. They also have welded corners.





NOS rear folding seat bumpers ! These are the only ones I have ever seen. The bumper is different from the standard hood bumper. These are part number C6ZZ-6362426-A. These have a dished center. They currently reside on # 3206.




An NOS sunvisor decal in the original package. The reproductions are good quality. These are part number S7MS-6360234-A. They were used on fastbacks and convertibles.




A real Shelby outer bumper arm. The Shelby bumper supports are longer than the Mustang supports. This one is part number S8MS-17A975-A. It is for the right side.




An original GT350 stripe kit in black! Gee, they only made 14 cars that needed this kit, this has to be rare. The part number is S8MS-16224-E.




This original gas cap emblem is part number S8MS-9A031-C. These emblems were also used on the hubcaps. Original emblems have a unique appearance.




Have you ever seen an NOS carburetor? How about this GT500 - C8ZX-9510-A, new in the box! Absolutely incredible. These pictures courtesy of Bill at Mansfield Mustang.




New Old Stock Green glass Ford light bulbs. These were used inside the console gauges. I have also seen original painted bulbs. The trade number is 1895G. The Ford part number is C4SZ-13466-B.




This is part of the GT500 KR fender emblem. The current reproductions are very nice, but the originals have a red color that is slightly more orange in appearance. The part number is S8MS-16098-G.




The NOS- production line style washer bottle is a rare find. Inside the bottom of the bottle is a metal screen. On the outside an extra plastic boss surrounds the nipple. Part number C7OZ-17618-A. If you look closely you can see this bottle is correct, but has been mounted before.
