Hi, I just picked these up from an elderly gentleman that has a ton of old parts, are these NOS replacement fan belts? I love the fact that one of them is actually stamped "Porsche".

Re: OG fan belts
They're nice for display but I would not use them. rubber deteriorates over the years and they will probably fail quicker than a new Gates belt.
I got a few VW belts and keep one with my original tool kit and jack for display. I'd never use any of that stuff since I have much better new stuff.
