Len Dawson or Valley Vintage Auto Parts?

[central52]

I checked out these two places for prices on a few items. Len Dawson wants $115 for a headlite switch for a 47 Plymouth. Valley Vintage wants $40. Len Dawson wants $4 for an air cleaner to carb gasket, Valley Vintage only wants $2.

Has anyone out there done business with these 2 places, and if so, want are your opinions and recommendations? They both seem to have a very extensive inventory, compared, to say, Andy Bernbaum. Ed P.

Well Ed................

With that kind of price difference for the headlight switch, I think I would go with Valley Vintage. Even if his are not as good as Dawson's, you can afford to buy 3 switches from Valley compared to the one from Dawson's. It's a no brainer to me.

I've never bought anything from either of them.

In the rare instance when I have had a problem they have both taken care of it.

Len Dawson has been in the NOS Mopar business for years and years. I`ve met him and bought parts from him for some customers cars. His prices are TOO HIGH, but they are clean nice NOS parts. He has a large -extremely well organized inventory of NOS Mopar parts in a spotless warehouse building. He is a perfectionist type of guy. Guess thats why he charges a LOT! He`s honest to deal with though!

I have used both on several instances and bought high dollar items from both- I would go with whichever had the best price-either way you can't go wrong-
