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.
This extremely rare hood scoop insert was used on a hand full of 428 Cobra Jet Cougars made prior to September 15th, 1968. Only the early 1969 scoops will have the embossed mounting areas used to mount this grille.

*NOTE* Often we will list items like this more for educational purposes than anything. Please do not be frustrated when you go to place an item like this in your shopping cart only to find we no longer have it. Items like this often only appear once in a lifetime so we may never be able to place it back in inventory once it has been sold. We will continue to leave the listing up for the many who use this as a reference site. Thank You, Don Rush
