If you are talking about the end seal gaskets with tabs with "GM" embossed on them, there is no current reproduction that I am aware of. Such a part would have to be made under GM license if it was to be done legally. No one has "stepped up to the plate" on this one. Of course, there might be some sort of "underground" source.
Other than the embossed tabs, the Paragon reproductions are about as close as you'll get in a reproduction gasket set.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

Re: Intake manifold gasket
Be careful when you are looking at the old black and yellow wraping (wrapping) though for your 63/64 as the really old packages have the 265/283 intake gaskets with the tiny poc ports.
Tip: Buy the nice repros for the long gaskets. Throw away the rubber ends. Then buy your old old black and yellow bags with end seals that have GM on and go with that.
Now on the repros let Doc Mike tell you how to massage the camel hump as he taught me years ago. JDComment

Re: Intake manifold gasket
john: were you aware that the old 265 intake to head gaskets from GM(in the black and yellow bags) DID NOT have the single camel hump like the later larger port gaskets had? BTW, to "loose" the depression in the camel hump of the repo intake to head gasket, place said gasket on an anvil and smack hell out of the camels hump with a body hammer--pretend its a camel jockey, not a camel hump. mikieComment

Re: Intake manifold gasket
Last set I found were in GM tourquoise/Blue & white packaging...
You can also 'make' this detail for a set of generic intake gaskets that lack the GM embossed tabs...Comment
