Vintage car or part means ...

[ted]

what year at this point in time?? Let's just say I am selling a water pump. Can I define the part as Vintage if it is from the 60s 70s 80s?? What are the cutoff dates, e.g. before and after?

Why not just list the casting date and what year it is correct for and leave it at that? People that are looking for specific dates don't care if it is listed as vintage or not.

I guess I have some parts headed Ebay way. They have a sub-section entitled Vintage Car Parts and I'd like to reference some parts in there. If I go in and list a water pump or whatever, would I be wrong in putting a 70's 1980's era pump within this category lumped in with Antique / Classic / Old Car / Salvage car parts.
I was thinking about this the other day and, holy Hanna, time has passed big time. Hard to believe our 1st Gennie
Camaros are close to a half century in age.

That Vintage sub-section is an attempt to segregate real, GM (in our case) original OEM & NOS stuff as opposed to repro and Chinese accessories that invaded the section and subsequently ruined the site for the Originality/Day2 crowd. You ever wade through all the crap that fits anything, including (insert your car), like chrome skull valve stem caps, Sinclair oil sign, LED bulbs and on and on...makes me sick! When I do a search for a certain part, that is the only thing I want to see. Go do a search and see how many listings you have to go through before an actual Camaro(my poison of choice)part appears...but then, of course, the actual stuff is then overpriced as if it were financing a military budget.
