I need to order one, this is why I'm asking.

I have fell victim to this scam, I bought two last year from him, I bought one for me and one for my buddy, this is before anyone had them listed on there websites, I did not know they where even making reproduction gaskets at the time, when I saw that he had listed 4 more and that they where being reproduced we sent him an email asking if they where old nos or new , he said they were old, so he is blatantly robbing people

This topic erks me to say the least, it seems there are many people that are selling nos parts that are truly not nos, or, there is a very well known parts distributor that I contacted about 2 nos aar distributors he had on his website, I asked him straight out if they were nos or rebuilt/restored , he said no, they are nos, he sent me pictures and they have the wrong vacuum advance and repop id tags on them,and the box part # is conveniently whited out, so he is takeing $100 nos baloney dual points distributors and putting ta 340 id tags on them and selling them for $7-800 8121840-DSC00007.JPG (121 downloads)

Unfortunately I had already purchased one of the first ones he posted. There is a lot of shady stuff that goes on with "NOS" parts. From taking a run of the mill nos part and duping it into a rare nos part with repro parts to putting it into a nos package to just flat out lying about parts. I've been lucky enough to find someone pretty local, honest and knowledgeable who has helped me find parts and takes the time to show the differences between nos. fake, assembly line correct, etc...even guiding me to be very careful with certain sellers. Someone like this is priceless. Buyer Beware it seems.

I bought a Blem. on E-Bay and even was able to get it cheaper due to the seller having a "make offer" type auction. If you get that close to my gasket to read those #'s your gunna get burned!!!!! 8122113-IMG_0037(Large).JPG (136 downloads) Last edited by RJS; 04/23/14 06:10 PM.

Scotts pictures are very clear and informative. It appears, the guy on ebay is selling re-pops as NOS, ask him a question and see if he blocks you too. Buyer beware! It never hurts to do a dispute if you think the item was misrepresented. Be prepared to submit a letter from someone with knowledge and ability to distinguish an NOS versus the repops.

I bought a non telescoping antenna mast for a 1970 Cuda NOS, paid a good bit for it too, it wouldn't screw in. Checked it out...metric threads. He stole money from me on that one. Another time years later needed an air-grabber actuator. $120.00 seemed fair. I get it and it is a $25.00 at best 1968-69 Charger headlight door actuator. He knows the difference, just trying to rip folks off. I sent it back and got my money refunded on that one, but seriously I believe he is hoping people won't notice the difference. Stay away from Brads, and Jims, and Frank Mitchell. This hobby doesn't need people like that.

This would have been back in 1979-1980 or so and I think we were paying mabe $15 for them?? 8122588-DSCN7354.JPG (102 downloads) Last edited by Tom Hand; 04/24/14 01:20 AM.

Years ago, I had good dealings with Brads. The last few years I have had a drastic decline in satisfaction in dealing with them and have stopped going to them altogether now. Was there a change several years ago in ownership or something or did greed simply kick in?

At the time, the reproductions had the lid opening the wrong direction. So I paid double for the "NOS" one. Come to find out, this "F"ing dealer was one of the first to get the correct opening reproductions. Also, I'm seeing a lot of "NOS" diecast emblems at swap meets lately. They are just in clear plastic bags. I have a feeling they are current reproductions that have the Pentastar and correct part number cast into them.

There are a lot of things going on like this in the Mopar restoration arena. Unfortunately, a lot of people are getting ripped-off by some vendors. Plus, all these "Authentic" items licensed by Chrysler/Daimler/Fiat - they've tossed in a lot of inferior products on the market too. I wish Chrysler/Fiat would do a better job of monitoring these products.

You do not want that. 75% of the repop products would dry up and the remaining ones will double in price. Ask any Harley owner... Licensing can be both good and evil.

I wish Chrysler/Fiat would do a better job of monitoring these products. My experience with Chrysler licensing is that Chrysler uses a subcontractor to facilitate the after market license process. They are happy to collect an up front fee for each product and a percentage of each part sold. The manufacturer bears all costs up front and the ongoing perpetual percentage on the licensed part. The process is more of a marketing approach and not so much how accurate the part follows the original design.

You do not want that. 75% of the repop products would dry up and the remaining ones will double in price. Ask any Harley owner... Licensing can be both good and evil. Tell me the Harley story. I assume they go after anyone without a license?

Make sure they get the reputation they deserve and it will eventually come back to bite them. This is a very small (Mopar) world, a bad reputation will haunt you for a very long time.

Here is an example, and I have contacted most of the sellers about the "mistake"... only one actually changed his Ad, and he was a private seller instead of a vendor. 8126238-HemiEmissionsValveVsOthers1a.jpg (166 downloads)
