I ran into an ad on Craiglist a few weeks ago. The guy was advertising reproduction 64 Impala fenders and full quarter panels at heavy discounts. I called a few days after seeing the ad and found he got the scratch and dent stuff from Dynacorn. He usually does the car show circuit but since it was a slow year, he was selling them online.
Shipping for reproduction body panels is not cheap and only raises the chances that they’ll get seriously damaged, so I talked the Mrs into going along on the Labor day weekend and spend a night in a Bed and Breakfast nearby. That was a no brainer. She was all over it. We drove up on Saturday and came back Sunday with the parts.
The guy seems to do this as a sideline and his inventory is constantly changing. He never knows what he’ll have cause he only gets the reproduction body panels that can’t be sold for retail.
The 64 Impala quarter panel I got had a simple dimple in it but otherwise looked brand new. He was off on his inventory. He thought he had quarter panels and fenders for both sides of the car in the trailer and I was prepared to get them. He only had the drivers side. He had a 64 Impala hood sittin in the garage that had a barely noticable crease in it. I knew I could fix it so I took it.
Search craigslist in the Pittsburg area for 64 Impala parts and you surely find him.
