New chevy restoration parts at half price

Posted by Carl King - 13/05/10 at 08:05 pm

Spring is here and so is spring cleaning. Part of spring cleaning is getting to those piles of junk in the basement or the garage, and along with that comes the great deals you’ll find on Craigslist when people decide to unload that box of 64 Impala parts they’ve been hangin onto.

This past Monday I found the mother load of new chevy restoration parts on Craiglist.

A guy in Richmond Virginia was selling a huge list of new chevy restoration parts left over from a 64 impala restoration project they sold the year before.

I live in Baltimore. You’d think I spent hours on Craigslist but I really don’t. I spend about an hour a week.

If you want to know how I can search Craigslist across the entire country and not spend all week doing it sign up for the Impala Project Newsletter on the left. You’ll get a free Ebook as well.

So back to the list of Chevy restoration parts. Here’s a snippet of the craigslist ad with the prices he was asking:

If you feel like doing the math it adds up to roughly $880, and these prices are less than the full retail prices. Check `em out if you want to. They quickly add up to well over $1000 at full retail price.

He was asking only $500 for the whole thing!!

I’m no dummy. I wasn’t about to wait for this deal to disappear. I left right from work the next day and headed straight to Richmond.

It was a good deal. I got them for less than half price.

There’s plenty of deals on chevy restoration parts out there on Craigslist right now. If you’re in the market you just have to find them but they’re only a good deal if you don’t have to spend hours looking.
