This product is an NOS Part.
NOS items are OEM parts from Ford that have been sitting on shelves or in warehouses for years. These are often great examples of the orignal parts, but they may have scratches or other shelf wear.
However be aware that some NOS parts are "service replacement" parts. "Service replacement" parts are not exact replacements of the parts that were installed at the factory, but are what Ford considered as "good enough" and were used at Ford dealerships after the original supply of parts was exhausted.
We often leave NOS product listings on our website after they sell for reference purposes.
NOS grille headlight eyelid door vacuum actuator for the Mercury Cougar. No exchange needed for NOS.
*NOTE* While original FoMoCo boxes are fun and all, we do not recommend you invest in these units as shown with the multiple crimps at the top. These later dated service replacement units shown here were made out of country and are inferior to what the OEM supplier made back in "the day". The rubber elasticity is not as good as the early units and the porosity of the metal makes them impossible to rebuild.
