Yeah he list garbage at outrageous prices all the time, he posts ads on here from time to time. Its funny I can always tell his ads, the cents always is .68, .69 or .70. Depending on what year the part is for.

I almost bought something from him one time, he answered an ad I had looking for something. I responded with an offer, then I got a call from my Mother that my Grandfather had collapsed. He wound up staying in the hospital for 2 weeks, and went into rehab at a nursing facility for another week. It was like 2 weeks before I ever checked my emails, well I had an email where he accepted my offer, then a few other follow up emails, each one getting more confrontational, demanding payment (I know I had made an offer, but like I said I was busy with family matters, and he never bothered sending a pic). After reading those emails, I realized he was a total asshat, and I never bothered doing business with him.

I have bought a few things from him (Gary) that were reasonable, but that was a long time ago. I even met him when drove from New York to Ohio to get a pair of '70 fenders that were converted to use on a Daytona. He was okay to me, even mailed me a copy of the Daytona parts list from the parts manual for nothing. The fenders I bought from him were in very good shape & he had sent lots pf photos before I made the trip. Not sure if he still has the car but he made a Daytona replica that came out very nice in a medium blue.

Over the years I've seen his prices increase & yes, the parts are not in the best of shape, but I suppose he is selling things to some people. I just stopped looking at his stuff as a serious buyer because of the price & condition.  :shruggy:

Moparsal is probably one of the best guys at getting decent parts for ya.  Sure his prices are a little higher then local Kijiji peeps, but you can't knock dependability.  :cheers:

I agree, and he stands behind his stuff too.  He sold me a part that I needed a correct date code for and without going into details, wrong one arrived and he quickly made it right.  (bought other things from him too)

I remember selling a part to mendy, sent him a pic of the part and the price was very fair. A few days later the same part is on eBay at 3X what I sold it to him for, and with the SAME PICTURE I sent him.  :lol:
Sure he has every right to flip parts & ask whatever he wants, but c'mon does it take that long to snap your own picture??  :lol:

Caveat emptor!

Some Mopar Car/parts dealers went crazy with prices, about 10 years back!
Ruined the hobby for alot of Folks!!! :slap:
$1000 fenders and $500 doors etc...

Been doing Mopars here in the UK for over 35-years now and its nearly impossible to restore anything on a budget.(TOO EXPENSIVE)
Doing my last one now and then its GOODNIGHT from me... :'( :'( :'(
IF A JOB's WORTH DOING, ITS WORTH DOING WELL, RIP DAD.

You should have got royalties from the sale since your pic was used.  :lol:

BTW.... Here is, as he describes, a Very Straight bumper on eBay.  ::)
