NOS - not for sale - sorry

[stevengerard]

I was looking through my stash of Oldsmobile parts the other day and I found some items I did not remember I had for the Marauder. All are NOS most still in the packaging. Sorry not for sale, I'm an original owner and plan on keeping the car.

Original valve stems, not sure if they are any different from what you can get for any other Panther or from a tire place. Anyone know?

A full set of floor mats —yes really :D :banana:

Black grill

Front and rear emblem (installed rear emblem last weekend)

One wheel

Drivers side window switch bezel.

Door lock switches - left and right

passenger side air bag (has some shelf wear - why I have this I have no idea)

Passenger side seat cushion (why didn't I buy a driver's side! :mad2:)

Nice!!

There is a fellow who would pay dearly for a nos wheel.

Look in the parts wanted area.

What a tease

These are what I have - good to know thanks.

The other thing I should mention is that shelf wear is a very real thing so those of you who have plastic NIB/NOS items should take them out and let them breath. Not too long ago I purchased an NOS steering wheel. The plastic control buttons were in worse shape than the ones on my car. Being stuck in a box, wrapped in bubble-wrap for 10 - 12 years made the out-gas react with the rubber coating on the plastic buttons with the bubble-wrap.

As mentioned my grill has a few minor wear marks and the passenger side air bag has one as well.

Thanks, for the heads up. I've been looking for a good set of steering wheel buttons, but haven't been able to find them. So looking for NOS Steering Wheel.
I'll make sure that buttons are in good condition before I buy.

There is a write up on this site somewhere about cleaning off the remaining goo from the buttons with electronics cleaner or WD-40. This is the same type of issue 1970 era Oldsmobile sport steering wheels have. As the texture wears off and the rim gets smooth it out-gasses and starts to turn sticky. Its a never ending battle to keep it clean. You may want to try the same thing

Ha! I found it, google was friendly today

Drivers side window switch bezel.

Luckily these are still available! I had to replace mine, previous owner tried to glue the old one together.

My local dealer had it overnight, something like $65.

that's a decent price from the dealer

I thought so. Spendy for a piece of plastic, but it's original.

I've got a great relationship with my local Ford dealer. I just had to replace the BCM and was more than happy to pay the ~$10 premium for an OEM part vs. some junk Standard Motor or Beck Arnley part.

I scored these NOS headlights a few months ago for $550.00. Yes, they are not for sale....lol

Damn new headlights go for that much. I should sell mine then since I'll probably never use them

Which stems came with the car new? I had new tires put on back in June of last year and they didn't have any rubber ones so they gave me some chrome ones that look a little tacky to me. It was some ricer performance shop so it wasn't a stealership.

Factory valve stems had a chrome cover and hexagonal chrome caps.
