Be aware that vintage NOS paper gaskets can
become brittle or somewhat hard over time and can be used as patterns for
making fresh gaskets from fresh gasket paper. NOS Copper head gaskets react
with air and become visually tarnished. This tarnish does not harm the gaskets.
This is the nature of the copper and paper material. Some of the NOS gasket
sets we supply are 20-60 years old and have not been made in many decades and
are what they are. This is the way it is. We did not make or pack these gasket
sets back in the day so expect buyers today to be reasonable people that want
these gasket sets for what they are as they need them for vintage engine work.
We are the Sport and Classic Car Company located in Houston Texas
since 1976. We supply restoration services, rebuilding work, repairs and parts.
Many NOS parts have been stored away for decades and are
now coming to the surface. Parts data was kept on paper key card files by hand
as computers did not exist so listing and identifying parts now is a laborious
process. We have made a lot of car owners very happy with rare and basically unavailable
NOS parts we have been able to provide.
The vast
majority or all of our EBAY sales are items that help raise funds for animal
rescue. EBAY handles the proceeds from these sales and makes the disbursements
to 503C animal rescue groups. Some of the parts are ours and others have been
donated by our automotive clients that are aware of our animal rescue efforts.
Preparing and selling the parts is essentially a free service we provide car
part donors. They get the parts out of their life without a hassle and enjoy
knowing where the proceeds go.
