Plan ahead

So it goes without saying, but parts and wearable items for our cars are going to become scarce over the next decade. The items for sale are going to be very expensive and may not be purchased in your state legally…..not even kidding. Our hobby is important to the country, and it’s heritage, so if you can afford it….stock up on those things that you feel you’ll need in a few years now….

In 1978, I started ordering NOS trim pieces for my 1970 GTX. They were cheap back then, but hard to get through Chrysler. My friend Bob, who would sell me Baby Blue a few years later, did the same for that car. We shake our heads when we look at the price of that stuff today. Parts will never be more available or cheaper than in the present.

I buy spare stuff. Ecu's, voltage regulators, alternators etc. In fact i bought two more ignition coils. More stuff soon.
