I thing that I found out is, if I was rebuilding a 55-57 Chevy, or a Mustang or Chevelle. I could buy just about any remanufactored part I can think of, for this early Barracuda not to many remanufactored parts out their.

You'll have to work 48 hours a day to afford NOS Mopar parts..............let me know how that works out.
I bought my share of parts over the years, to find some deals you'll have to start coming to Chryslers at Carlisle, and even then prepare for sticker shock...........

Yes, I have gotton the sticker shock, I did find a NOS bumper at the Hershey Pa show, last month, for only $200, after I talked the guy down a bit, stuff like correct year mopar heater hoses, and correct year plug wires are out of site. I have gotton a few good deals on ebay, I try and advoid the commercial companies like year one and Leysens, because of the high prices, I`m looking for a 65 Barracuda donor car, that would save a bunch of money, later Ray

I wouldn't worry so much about NOS hoses, I tried to maintain accuracy on Judy's 67 Coronet, used original type black hoses, but bought the repro hose clamp kit, the spring ring type. Has one of them come off and spray anti freexe all over the motor compartment. Not too much fun.
So what's up with the yellow boxes that say "Click here now" they don't do anything when I do?
