It should be remembered that with all of the social networks, internet forums, etc., it CAN be much easier to find parts than in the decades before all of these things existed. Where you chased parts MANUALLY in the salvage yards in your region, or even taking a road trip in search of what you might desire. When you found major Mopar vendors, new parts and salvage yard operations advertiesed in the major Mopar magazines. In a time when the Mopar section of the regional yards were much smaller than for other makes, by observation. AND transactions were all done in cash money.
Some of these things still exist as people as
@C Body Bob are more specialized in what they deal in. Which is great! And there are others, as Murray Park and some other regional people, who are Mopar-specific in their operations. Plus somALL e other larger, well-established operations. The Internet has brought these operations much more exposure on an interntional level, which helps everybody. BUT as with any other long-distance transaction, YOU have to know what you might need and how to transfer those desires to the seller, effectively. Which is where the Internet helps atain, with places like
www.mymopar.com and
www.jholst.net come into play with their downloadable files on parts and service items. Can't forget
www.hamtramck-historical.com and these forums for the wealth of information they provide. ALL of which help the Mopar Hobby progress into the future.
Happy Mopar Holidays!
