I recently picked this choke cable up at a local swap meet. I spent $25 on the cable, a 2v spacer, and a 67' tilt wheel rag joint out of a box of miscellaneous Mustang parts. It will not hurt my feelings if you guys think this cable is a repro, but I have to ask. Repro or NOS?? The couple selling these parts had many pieces associated with HIPOs and Shelby's including an original Paxton suprecharger set-up, HIPO rods, HIPO alternators, and even some NOS Shelby emblems for a 68'. Those "known" items were set in the typical price range.
If this is indeed a repro, or an NOS for that matter, what are the differences?? Thanks for any feedback!

It is a reproduction. Without going into all of the details concerning rubber ,nuts etc. it is missing a fastener on the end of the rubber sheath that is on a original that the repro people chose not to replicate.

Thanks Bob. I think reproductions run about $60 so i’m still happy with my purchase. ;D
