Murray Park in Ohio

[C Body Bob]

This Murray Park guy in Ohio that sells used parts. Anybody ever dealt with him ? I see people recommended him & I also see people complain that he’s slow to respond. That’s been my experience. Several years ago I e mailed about a fuel tank for a Fury. Responded pretty quick that he had one & a price. So I ready to purchase & replied back what’s shipping cost & provided my info. Haven’t heard back yet & that’s been years. So I thought I’ll try again. Sunday night I sent an e mail on another part. As of this morning (Thursday) I have not heard back. What on earth is the deal. I need the part now. Not in November.

Murray is a very good guy but busy. He does ALL his car stuff on his own with a little help from family.
The absolute best way to reach Murray is by phone . He always picks up or calls me back. Evenings seem to be best. Be persistent!

I agree with Dave. Murrary and his wife pretty much run the entire show. Yeah, he can be slow but I have received many parts from him over the years. Best to call him after 5 PM EST.

My experience with Murray was great. I got a part from him for my restoration that was not available anywhere else.

 

[Cazman]

Use the phone. I called him and he met me at Carlise with the part I wanted. Easy.

Best to call for sure, I talk to him often.

Yes, Murray is the best.
Yes, Murray can be slow.
He was my #1 Go-to guy for all my C-body stuff.

I wanna callout Rwc for the disagree. I respectfully request you tell us why you disagree.
I presume you had a different experience?

I got seats from him years ago, he had a day job then and was honest about the speed of delivery, but he's come through each time I've contacted him, last time an email that took a while for him to respond to.

I agree!

Murray is the best. I have a small business too, and I get overwhelmed especially this time of the year in Ohio, when people have finally see the sun and it is warming up.

I agree with calling is the best way to get ahold of him, but his phone is probably ringing off the hook right now.

I emailed and waited a few weeks. I called and left a message with my part request and phone number. Still waiting. I believe every one who says he is a great guy. I understand running a business out of home with very limited help. I am not trying to put him down at all. I just don't believe he calls everyone back.

Sounds like he’s overwhelmed & only deals with repeat customers. New folks take a back seat. I posted this on C body Source & getting the same response. “I deal with him all time. He’s great “ and the “yea he never contacted me back either “
Maybe I can trick him. Hey Murray I have a new e-mail. Thanks for all the parts over the last decade. See if that works.

Keep trying, you'll get a response.

I was hoping to have the part by Saturday. Saturday March 6, 2020 that is.

He's not the fastest cat, that is true.

Not a chance .... try the other C body guy

 

[Rwc]

I have always been very fortunate finding the parts I was looking for. Usually on this site. And I agree with Bob. He's very busy and prioritizes known customers. In this age it's common for people to burn a lot of your time and then never become a customer. I go through it and hate it. I just am disagreeing with saying he will call back. I also hope he keeps supplying the hobby as best he can.

Keep trying, you'll get a response.

Thanks for that ...

tried calling, e-mailing. never got a response. wondered if there was a secret code word. it's his business and i respect his right to run it as he wishes. can't save the world but it seems he's helped a lot of people. no problem in that.
