Turkey!

[Don Jordan]

I keep seeing parts for sale on the bay from Turkey. Is this Turkey Turkey - or is there some place in the states called Turkey.

And why would this guy have all these parts. He was selling valve springs.

Just seemed kind of interesting. I may have missed something in the fine print.

Well we have a Turkey here in Texas, it is the hometown of Bob Wills, the king of country swing. The town is in the lower Texas panhandle and is a very small town, but Terrell Machine is in DeLeon, Texas, about the same size town so you never know. Does the add have a phone number in it? The area code will tell you where he is located, if in some city in the Country of Turkey the shipping would be more than the parts.

Turkey at one time had a Chrysler assembly plant. I believe they still make Heavy Duty Desoto trucks in Turkey. So there is a history of mopar stuff in that country.

I just checked and the location is Istanbul, Turkey.

Seems like a long way to go for parts.

..and was pleasantly surprised with the price, quality and speed of delivery. Postage cost was reasonable as well.

My wife had to travel to Istanbul a few years ago for work. Her cab driver had a collection of old Plymouths. She couldn't believe it. This guy and his brother were really into it. We've always wondered about it. I think I have his e-mail somewhere. I ought to invite him to join the forum.
