Is it possible?
#1
The water pump was leaking on my convertible so I went ahead and replaced it. I was surprised to see a Chrysler p/n - could it be the original? That would mean it was 53 years old!

If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

The one on our car was still a Chrysler part and looks like the same number. I sent it out to be rebuilt. That's a possibility on yours too.

Funny, I posted this on FBBO also and somebody wanted to buy it! I'm gonna keep it and maybe rebuild it later when I do a body resto on the car. I actually believe the pump is a rebuilt original, but I can guarantee that it has been on the car since at least 1980, that's 38 years . . . not bad!

old original parts last 38 years
new aftermarket parts last 38 minutes

It could be original, no way to tell for sure. There appears to be no paint on it. Compared to the area around it, did it match in appearance?

It has some ligt grey paint on the hub that tells me it was a rebuilt. I'm sure it was installed when my Dad rebuilt the engine a along time ago - 1979 or 1980.
