1965 A/C Condenser: Original Identification

[Ray K.]

Can anyone tell me how to identify if my 65's A/C condenser is original? Is there a manufacturer's name on it, date code, part number, etc on it. And, if it's deemed to be an original, is there anybody out there that can restore it? If not, is there anybody out there that sells a replacement - - that passes NCRS judging?

Here are some shots from an original '65 condensor.

Note the zig-zag fin pattern and the bevel at the top.

There's a company in Orange County Calif that makes a pretty good repro, including the bevel. PM me and I'll dig out the name if you're interested.
