Overpriced LD340

I don't understand the NOS price argument for an LD340. They never came on a car from the factory, it's an aftermarket part. Sure, maybe that one is NOS, but you wouldn't put it on a car you were building with NOS parts that you're spending a fortune on because it's not original. They were sold through Direct Connection and had a Chrysler part number, but it was never an OE part.

NOS for a mechanical part is dumb anyway. I can understand NOS body, trim, and interior parts. But a NOS mechanical part? I mean, an intake isn't as bad as buying a NOS water pump or something that will wear out with use I suppose, but still.
