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

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. Rich |

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.

If the floor mats are correct and a nice reproduction, he didn't make them.
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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
