Default NOS 1969 1970 1971 1972 Chevelle chrome exhaust tips 3956756 / 3936756 ?

Hey Gang, got these at the same place as the exhaust manifolds I just posted.

As near as I could discern, the Chevelle on the rack was a recent barn find that is being "restored" - I don't know what the plan is for the car, but it seemed like a big block convertible with power windows that was pulled from a field... the most I could get out of them was that these NOS tips have been in the trunk (which was open to the elements) for a long time. And I believe them based on the weathered appearance of the boxes and the 1984 dated newspaper they were wrapped in; these tips have been in the trunk for nearly 40 years!

The car was put away wet years and years ago with grand plans of getting fixed up - I understand there were other NOS parts with it, but they weren't shown to me...

Now, here's the odd part - the boxes are correctly numbered 3956756 BUT the tips are actually stamped 3936756 ! - is a typo possible on these kinds of things?! I mean, I know anything could have happened, but that seems very odd to me... based on how I saw these in situ and who sold them to me, I have no reason to doubt their genuineness.

Again, these are what they are... they're not the super rare / desirable unstamped ones, and these stamps are on the bottom side...

Heck, I'd bet mis-stamped ones are rarer than unstamped... HAH! - If you want a one-of-none pair, here you go...

The chrome is very acceptable and typical of that era for NOS GM flash chrome parts.

Not rolled tips - replacement for 69 70 71 and 72 Chevelles I believe.

Many photos below for the full picture.

350.00 PPG shipped to the 48.

Thanks Friends,
Anthony
