Robin (UK) Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 I set up a new facebook Group a few hours ago, specifically for owners to buy and sell parts for flathead Mopar cars & trucks. The Group already has 39 members, from several countries, and it's shaping up to be great way to reduce the burden of eBay fees and help keep our vehicles on the road. Please come and join us at Flathead Mopar Parts - For Sale & Wanted And please spread the word... Everyone's welcome. 2 Quote
keithb7 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I’d like to join and participate. However the group privacy is set to “Public”. Meaning every time I post or respond in the group, every single one if my FB friends gets notified of my posts. I don’t need my mother-in-law or co-worker knowing about my desire to buy or sell vintage Mopar parts. My suggestion is you change the group setting to “Private” so only members of the group see all the posts. Then myself, and likely others will join in and actively participate. Regards.

edrendek7777 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Huh, well I have never been on any social media (aside from Linkedin), and swore I never would... but this has me rethinking that. Especially since I have so many 50 Plymouth parts to sell... Thanks. Ed 1 Quote
JerseyHarold Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 Robin, Great idea to form a Facebook group. I just joined. This comes at a good time because I'm cleaning up my shelves and will have a number of items to sell. Harold 1 Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 Joined, might be a good idea to remind people to put in a location. I see some prices in Euros and Pounds, pretty sure shipping would kill me on anything priced like that. Thanks. 1 Quote

keithb7 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Go ahead and sign up for Facebook. Accept zero friend requests. Don’t follow anyone either. Seek out and join special interest and hobby groups. Your FB page will become a portal into a great new experience. Whether Mopar related or otherwise. It can be a great tool. You’re missing out on a ton of old Mopar connections and classic part sales on Marketplace. Edited January 25, 2020 by keithb7 1 Quote

So far there are already 148 members in the new FB Mopar group. They have posted many items for sale and wanted ads, at quite attractive prices. I sense the group is out to help fellow vintage Mopar lovers out. Folks from around the world are introducing themselves and sharing photos of their lovely old Mopars. There is no unrelated or unwanted material listed there. The gathered group of "idiots" there is fine by me, and I am happy to be a part of it. The group will continue to grow. As media forms change, if we fail to adapt we are left behind by the next budding generation of car enthusiasts. Pertaining to the old Mopar car hobby, I embrace change and welcome new members. Whatever medium they choose to use to actively participate, I will adapt to use it. Edited January 27, 2020 by keithb7 3 Quote

ebruns1 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 If you weren't already aware there are at least 2 other FB groups for 40's and 50's Mopars you might want to check into. Quote
