Really the answer depends on for what kind of parts you're looking? NOS? Good, used? New soft parts?
Here are my recommendations out of those listed:
Dante is the class of the industry and if you need anything Legendary, he's your guy. As stated, honesty and unsurpassed customer service from just an all-around nice person.
Tony's Parts is great for nearly impossible to find clean used parts, some NOS, and Mopar tech information, knowledgeable customer service, and a history of trustworthiness and honesty . You call his phone number, and Tony answers the phone. Try that with some "other" suppliers! Another credit to the hobby and his industry, Tony is an all-around amicable guy.
Jack's Auto Parts is another good supplier - especially for new and repro parts. I used them countless times when I was pouring money into my Road Runner. Reasonable prices and a wealth of Mopar knowledge make him a can't miss guy. Use the Year One catalog to look up the parts you need and then call them up.

Dante is among my favorites. I have bought from Herb's and had good service. Regarding Jack's and Jim's, here is a little Moparts Math Facts someone posted that may be helpful.
Jack=4 letters=GOOD
Jim=3 letters=BAD
Jim Filmore and Jules the Wiperman are great also though they aren't on your list.

Basically, I have used all but Jim's. You are going to have to as well since none have everything you will need. I look at all of them before I buy. I also have bought from Hoover in Idaho. It all depends on who has it, how far away are they and when do I need it. If any of them were here in town, I would go there first.

I hate to say this out loud but how about Year One.
I used to think that Year One was the big guy on the block and only really rich guys ordered from them. Since I have started putting my 'Cuda back together, they have been very competitively priced. They have a no question return policy and their catalog is worth the 10 bucks alone for all the detailed information, reference pictures, and drawings. Their web site has wish lists to help organize your parts and makes suggestions for related parts. They still may not be the cheapest on the block, but they have enough going for them that they do warent a call out.

another vote for Dante's. I have ordered many things from him and always had a great experience. Fast, reliable, honest and good prices.  I have to say... the Year One website is an absolute piece of cat poo. You can't find anything and I actually never ordered from them because the website is so impossible to use. I do have one of their wire looms and it is a very nice top quality part.
very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.

I have never bought anything form Jim's, but I have spent some time on his website looking. I am just getting back into the buying of parts. I haven't been able to put a dime into the car for the last 12 years. I guess I really started something here. I am glad I asked because I am starting to make lots of purchases every week.
It has been awesome to have UPS showing up multiple times each week with presents for me!!!!

I was real excited when I received my order from Dantes today and noticed they used scraps of carpet as packaging material. There was one strip that was in perfect condition and was a perfect match to the bottom of my door panels. The carpet on my panels are in rough shape and now I have enough to replace them!!!! I kinda feel like I should pay for it!! Thanks for the little surprise Dante!!!!!

I called jims with a quick tech question about one of their parts I wanted to order, and the lady yelled at me saying that they don't know anymore about the parts than what's in the description on the site, and that they don't restore cars.
I like herbs though.
I like Jim's website and use it often to research parts/etc. Then I go and buy it from one of the REAL Mopar dealers!!!

I just bought a few odds and ends for my 'Cuda from Dante's.
OK, let's just say that I am a bit of a dork and I caused Dante a little trouble with my order. It was all my fault. With that being said, Dante was great. I am definitely going to buy from him again!

We REALLY need to have a "Member recommended vendors" sticky.
A list, not necessarily in any order, of vendors who are great for restoration, NOS, repro, etc.
It would have really helped me when I started restoring my car 2.5 years ago.
Maybe have a tips section on ordering parts and parts to avoid but maybe that would be too long.

Most times I find the stuff I need the cheapest on ebay. I also buy body panels from rockauto. They have super low shipping compared to most. I had 2 full length front floor pans for my challenger shipped to me for 10 bucks! For interior stuff, always Dante's. I never used any of the rest except Jims once, only one who had the part I needed on their website at the time. 3 days later it arrived.

I just had a very bad experience with Jim's Auto Parts. I will never buy anything from them again. Are you kidding me, even after all the warnings? I don't want to laugh at your misfortune ... but .... I literally live 2 miles from their store front, not that it's a walk in store mind you, and I haven't done business with Jim in close to 20 yrs.
running up my post count some more .

Year One isn't any better. I ordered the dash wiring harness for my car in the middle of June. At the time they said 1-4 weeks. Called and checked on it in the middle of August (8 weeks later). They said it would be the middle of Sept. and they would send me an email when it would ship. Well, it's the last day of Sept. and still no email. Will be calling them tomorrow and seeing "how much longer"? This is the 2nd time they've done this to me and the last. I'll never order another part from YO. Oh yeah, my card got charged the minute I ordered the part, so they've had my money for 3-1/2 months now. The kicker is, the guy on the phone told me I was "lucky" I ordered when I did, because the wait is even longer now. Why don't I feel "lucky"??? What good does a 30% off discount do you when they can't get you the part you need...

Same thing here , YO pinged my card up front and it was a couple months longer than the 6-8 weeks they quoted I am in need of a replacement engine harness right now for my 67 RT. I had decided on purchasing a harness from YO since i had some other parts I was ordering from them. I called today and talked with a rep to place my order. As soon as I said I needed a harness he started chuckling and said "well thats gonna be a long backorder item." He told me a minimum of 8-12 weeks. He said M&H was changing over their tooling to a more automated process and for the last year and a half they have been behind production because of all the changes. He said that he had some customer orders from late January that just shipped in the past 2 weeks to customer!!!!

We REALLY need to have a "Member recommended vendors" sticky.
A list, not necessarily in any order, of vendors who are great for restoration, NOS, repro, etc.
It would have really helped me when I started restoring my car 2.5 years ago.
Maybe have a tips section on ordering parts and parts to avoid but maybe that would be too long. Maybe a list of Moparts members you would/would not recommend buying from, too. I can start the "would not" list.
Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

The people at Herb's are, really, well they don't know much about Mopars. Hate to say it. I spend a lot of money each year for the last 20 years on mopar. I got some attitude from Herb years ago and never went back.

What is your preference when buying Mopar restoration parts online?
Who do you like to purchase from????? Why didn't you include Laysons, MrMoparts, Classic Industries etc. in the survey? I'm thinking this was more of a poll of the enthusiast/down home/mom and pop vendors (for lack of a better term) at the time (see date of original OP's post)? Not so much the hugh "big box" sellers with maybe "call center" type customer service (no offence intended to some of you big guys with good, knowledgeable staff)if you need to call with a question. I've been able to talk with most of the listed vendors at national and local events and even stopped by Dante's and Tony's homes and had a great time, I doubt I could do that with Laysons, Classic Industries or Year One.....but maybe I could if I get an invitation sometime soon.   Here's the first post date: Votes accepted starting: 09/28/11 08:15 PM

You must vote before you can view the results of this poll. MrMoparts is a two man band I deliberately left him out because I thought that might be the case...........on the other hand he's out of AZ and may not have been well known to the OP back in 2011 and he only got into the Mopar restoration business in 2005 according to his "about us": About Us MrMoparts began from a love of cars back in 1988. In the beginning with a 600 square feet of space we thought we had it all. After two more moves to bigger locations and a fantastic start in the manufacturing of parts we closed over retail location in 2000 and concentrated on the manufacturing end of the business. In 2005, after great succes in the GM and Ford market we dove into the Mopar market and started MrMoparts. We continue to manufacture GM, Ford and now Mopar parts for the restoration marketplace. In addition to the manufacturing and MrMoparts has grown to become one of the leaders in restoration parts. With the addition of our semi trailer that we bring to the show, we know you will find everything you need to complete your restoration. Not to get into a spitting contest but why the upset over a 5-year old post and poll? Spring is just around the corner. MikeR

Similar story as Helbing, I'm from Canada and back in the mid-late 80's I would still go to the dealership for some items, Year One got a lot of my money and I still have the Rallye rims I bought at MCO Motor City Originals, even used to get a printed list of parts mailed to me from Brad's NOS.
Magazine subscriptions and the forums have lead me to various vendors and I now directly buy from Mega Parts, Dante's, Bill Rolick, etc.
