it's a chinese made 555 brand balljoint, the kind that CIP1 used to sell 5 years ago for about 19 bucks. i can think of a few things to call it but NOS isn't one of them.

here's another nugget from the same seller:

About time... now lets have a group hug.

i'll just watch the hugging part, i only hug trees, but great idear!(sic)

i like looking at this sort of crap anyways. it makes me feel better about my self, hahaha :wink:

look for my ad for invisible curtains, their really nice and decorative but don't do much for the light.

yeah, that's a giant let-down. if the photo matched the description it would be a good score. instead it's just a 68-70 front tin.

$18 is a bit steep, but then again... it's NOS.

Let me make this perfectly clear... this is not WILL NOT be a dumping ground for craiglist/ebay/fleabag site for sale BS....

It is to pertain to samba classifieds and true vendor cheap ass junk parts documented...

Can we all agree on that?

herers an angle- crappy non-german parts have been around so long that they do technically qualify for New Old Stock status. perhaps Ev should create 2 NOS classified categories. one german, one chinese, etc..
