Yah, that's right. I remember this now. Brand new wires available at a reasonable $74 at this link.

I forgot all about that.
You can read all about who and how they are made there.

I'm not saving my LT5 marked wires for the next owner.

No doubt the nitpickers at the NCRS would take points off when they find slight differences between the original wires and these new versions of the original wires. I remember hearing once they deducted points because the grease uses was not quite the right shade. Oh boy. But then if you're into totally original then you'd want the original air to be in the tires too.

Those do or do not have the Corvette LT5 markings on them? One picture shows they do one doesn't? At 74 bucks I am down for a set if they have the LT5 marking on them.

Funny!
I have heard that story before! (original air!)
Another one is; never see rain or snow!
Have you seen the factory lot? It is outside!
They have never seen what their cars look like when they come off the transporter. Sometimes right off the truck and into the bodyshop.
:cry:

They do NOT have LT5 / Corvette markings on them at that price. Only NOS wires are labeled as such, there's not currently any repro pieces out there.

You're right!
The lower pic shows the LT5 markings.
