Repop parts on ebay
« on: September 15, 2004 - 11:12:22 AM »
Anyone bought parts from this guy "Balleks Classic Car and Truck Parts" ?
Specifically looking for pass (maybe driver) front floor $86ea, both rear lower quarters $81 ea, maybe trunk $95/side.
I am wondering on the fit of the pieces, especially the accuracy of the lower quarters. Also wondering if these are good prices.


In case you can't guess, this means I picked up a car. I bought the 70 challenger deputy for 3k. Drove it home monday night. Pics to follow.
I am still trying to track down the 71 383 vert, but the 70 was too good to pass up. If nothing else I can get my money back, and make a little with some minor body work.

I believe you can find cheaper parts on there.  I bought 2 lower quarter patches for my 71 Barracuda for $54 each and the entire trunk for around $150.  I believe it was Colombia or something like that out of the northwest area.  Funny thing was the patches were shipped directly from Goodmark.

ive been considering one of those repop rubber bumpers. ONe guy is selling them for a little over $300.  they need some sanding and paint but you cant beat the price. Everything else he sells looks hi quality.  anyone else hear or have one of these?

I bought a set of repro rubber bumpers, but they were the ones selling for $700 each on eBay.  I am very happy with them.  They feel very well made.

ive seen them also. I wonder what the big difference is? the guy selling the cheaper ones said they are lighter than the originals.
