A possible parts source for old Mopars


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I don't recall if I've posted this before or not, so..........

At a swap meet this summer I looked at some windshield wiper motors on

a vendor's table, got to talking with him, found he was friendly and

helpful.

He gave me one of his cards.......for Antique Auto Supply, 1225 Colorado

Ln, Arlington, TX 76015. Phone (817) 275-2381. Parts, cars and

literature 1909--1972.

I think he has several warehouses fulla stuff.....certainly worth a try if

you need something.

Bob,

I have done some business with Auntique Auto. Went to his place when I needed a solenoid for my OD. He pulled out two boxes full of solenoids and spent about 30-45 minutes with me going through each of them to make sure I was getting a part that worked with my OD. Solenoid was $75 and I was told that if I went home and installed it and there was a problem to bring it back and I would get a full refund or could go through the boxes to find another no questions asked.

There were parts everywhere and while I was there his employees answered 4 or 5 phone calls and asked him if they had a particular part. His response would go something like this "yeah we have one of those it is in building 2 third row about half way down on the second shelf." Was unbelievable he is like a walking computer. I can't remember half the time where I put my keys let alone thousands of parts.

Bob, Amazing !! Do you know if he ships parts or do you have to walk in ?

Reg.....sorry for the slow reply.....just found this.

I don't know if he ships.

I'd suggest calling him to inquire.

There was an old guy like that when I was growing up, but it was tractors....had a building the size of half a football field.

He knew what drawer, or shelf....it didn't matter, it was there.

Those days are almost over.

Thank goodness for computers!
