Just curious to see if anyone has purchased an aluminum radiator from this seller before. They're feedback is pretty good, but any experiences on the quality from members here by chance, etc?

Also, this is a general question, but to those w/ an aluminum radiator...do you see a lot of it when you're looking directly at the front grille? Any pics of yours would be great! Meanwhile, I'll keep looking through the forum to see if I come across any older threads w/ pics as well...

Thank you!

My uncle bought a radiator for his 70 Superbee 440 car, from this guy. The radiator works fine, but he did mention the quality wasn't the best. I can't remember what was wrong with it, but I believe it was cosmetic. His motor has about 530 hp and it runs cool ,no problems.

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm thinking bout' it, but only $200 for a 69' Charger aluminum radiator makes me a lil' nervous. But hey, as long as it keeps it cool, that's the main thing (let's hope). Any other experiences? Thank you again for your time!

I bought one of those this week, I offered 200 and they accepted.  They wouldn't take 190 for it so 200 is probably as low as you can get it.  Ron (firefighter) said it looks like the one he picked up for his car....I kind of relied on the feedback for this purchase, they have been selling them for a while too.....I won't have my car ready for a while so I won't be able to give any feedback yet  :-\

Yep, it looks identical to the one i purchased from a different vendor off E-Bay...although this one is less expensive. I paid $270 for mine + shipping. Definately a good rad !

They called me yesterday to inform me that they oversold some units and asked if I needed it ASAP.  He said they had more coming in next week and he would call me to let me know.  I will post on here when I get the call if you are looking to get one.

they dont list the tube size, are they 3 1 inch core tubes with a 3/8 inch thick gap between the cores?  if so that would be one THICK radiator.
