I just picked up a condenser for a 69 Camaro, supposedly it is OEM manufactured in 69.
Is there any way to confirm this? The condenser is placed on cardboard, then shrink wrapped with a sheet of paper that says, Do not pick up at fittings, fitting must be backed up............. do not pull plastic wrapping, wrapping must be cut............... not doing so will void warranty.

Inside the shrink wrap is a tag with the number 146. I don't want to remove it from the shrink wrap until I can confirm what it is, so I don't have any markings from the part itself.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Im wondering when shrink wrap was invented? I dont ever recall anything in those days being shrink wrapped. My first guess is it could be a remanufactured part. Others will chime in too Im sure.

I talked to a resto shop, he described an original OEM item exactly as the one that I have, but I still don't know when it was made, and how to check date of manufacture.
