Not a fan

I've bought from them. Most items were fine. There expertise on questions relating to your vehicle is hit and miss.

I have had pretty good luck but many poor reviews on the web. Owner can be acerbic...

I strongly prefer to buy from Ames, NPD, USA Parts Supply, Year One and Inline Tube.

When my 67 Firebird was being restored, I bought door weatherstripping from them and dropped it off at the shop. A few months later when they were finishing up, found out the weatherstripping wouldn't fit as the molded in tabs were all in the wrong place. Looked like it was for a different car although the box label said my year of Firebird/Camaro, PP refused to do anything about it.
Bought some from Ames and it fit perfectly.
So, I have a box of new weatherstripping that fits who knows what.

LOL, these guys have got to be raking in a fortune , how long have they been in business with terrible ratings qnd still manage to exist.......ive gotton a few things from them, didnt bother returning them, have them hanging on my wall just to remind myself never again.

You would probably be better off buying a ford part and trying to make it fit.

I just bought a set of repro floor mats from them for my 69 bird - they are very nice. And they were less than anywhere else.

[Joe's Garage]

He bought them from someone else who actually makes a decent reproduction item and resold them to you.

We gave up on The Parts Place junk years ago. Many items look good from a distance but aren't sized right or just don't fit.

Maybe if you squint and tilt your head a little, they're OK......... NOT!

Parts place is a big time Repop producer and are responsible for a lot of the parts that everyone sells.

This is the case with many of the reproduction parts. One place makes it, many different vendors sell it.
