Where to look for parts

[WASyL]

Hi, as i'm international i don't know where to look for parts, but to make it harder i don't want new parts (except  of gaskets) and rather buy used in good condition so that have looks matching rust look of the car which is '50 Business Coupe
Mostly i need stuff like door and trunk lock with mounting hardware, door lock mechanism, light lenses etc. 

are there any pages where i can look fot them or just spend hours scrolling thru eBay ?

 

best regards

you can open a classified wanted ad, no cost...expect shipping will be costly.  Even around these parts there are so few yards to pick from.  You would do well to have an interchange book but usually these are for main mechanical parts, as lots of parts carry over year to year.  However, I hate to say it, but likely E-bay will be you better choice but will not rule out the success of finding a person parting out a body by placing an ad here.   Good luck, having a few European cars, I know what it's like coming up empty handed on a parts quest.    While it may be your intent to want to keep it stock, never rule out an upgrade from a common at hand donor car in your area.

Strongly suggest getting a parts manual, ideally one which covers not only your specific car year but hopefully a few years either side of it which will help you to check overall parts usage, an interchange book would be very helpful.........I have a 1950-65 Chrysler Products Interchange Manual by Auto Interchange Systems of Minnetonka, Minnesota...its a photocopy that I've had for 30yrs or more but I'm sure there are other versions of this around...........BTW, Welcome aboard  from Australia........just checked and Amazon USA has an original copy of this book listed for $23.00 US which seems like a bargain..........lol.........andyd

I host this facebook group, which has a lot of European members: Flathead Mopar Parts - For Sale & Wanted

I hope it's useful.

 

Good luck with your car.

Another good facebook group to ask for parts is https://www.facebook.com/groups/POCNational, the Plymouth Owners Club. You don't have to be a club member, just join the group. For members there is access to a bulletin which has lots of parts ads.

I also belong to an active Aussie site which has some international members, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1435811830045161 1930-1950 Dodge/Plymouth in Australia (Early Mopar Only)
