ebay? your source for lost mopars leads
« on: October 16, 2003 - 05:54:49 PM »
I buy and some times sell a lot of parts on ebay..while I'm not suggesting you buy a whole mopar off ebay since prices get a little inflated you might try emailing the guys on ebay who are selling mopar parts  and ask them what they know of or even have in their yard..you'll find a lot of diamonds in the rough, especially if they list their part cheap "where did that part come from in the first place"  I actually did this one day for a couple hours and emailed every guy selling mopar parts on ebay asking..I came up with 20+ leads... not much for ebodies but I had a dozen A bodies locations and a few B bodies too.. all for arounf $1,000 or less...also On ebay I ran into a guy in south dakota who was into demons I sold a consule too, his local junkyard has 13 cudas  he never would give me the junkyard address but his shipping address for the consule was in Fargo  so that gives a pretty decent starting point.there can only be a few junkyards there.. Another time .some 14 year old kid in arizonia inherited 11 e bodies from his dad was was parting small trim pieces he could stuff in envelopes and send USPS and trying sell them on ebay... I helped him  to read vin codes and the kid had nothing but 70's and 71's even a 383 2 bbl 70 grand coupe Unfortunately he just disappeared off the net and I never got to follow up on buying one of his cars. Another guy local here in Sandy oregon I found after his listed a 71 barracuda grill piece on ebay I bought from him..he actually has a 71 barracuda project for $3200 but sold all the rare stuff so it's pretty much a rolling shell with a 400 727 sitting between the fenders.so I thought the price was a little steep. he listed it on ebay last month and it didn't sell so you can probably run completed item search and find the guy if it's something you are interested in.
