Fusick (fusick.com) based out of CT has a pretty extensive selection of Olds parts goodness.

I'm sure there are a couple others, but they're the only ones I've used thus far.

I haven't used them but other members speak highly of Fusicks. OPG has stuff, Tamraz has stuff. My experience has been good with tamraz, prices are good too, but selection is somewhat limited.

Here's another discussion on the subject. Fusick wins every time the subject comes up.

I have bought lots of stuff from Fusick and they never let me down. I don't think I have ever seen a complaint about them. Their return policy is outstanding. They only deal in Olds stuff and have more stuff than anybody else. I bought my interior from Tamraz about 15 years ago. Their prices are good. I know there are lots of others but these are two I have had experience with.

Olds Parts

Yes, Fusicks but also Supercars Unlimited on the west coast.

The Parts Place, Inc in Chicago does all GM, not just Olds, but does reproduce alot of parts that others do not.

Re: parts

I however found a company for trans lines, break lines in Ohio, they (manufacture them). best place I ever dealt with, when I got my lines they were bent perfectly, came with all the original factory hardware and the compression nut fittings were the right color just like when they came off the assembline in 71. Company's name was Fine Lines I think they were in Canton, been quite a few years since I ordered them.

I have had great luck with Fusick's. They are not always the least expensive but the quality of a lot of their items is next to none and all they do is Olds. They have much knowledge. If you have a substantial order, they have given me a discount.

What is quite amazing is that you ever got it...

Fusick has always been my first choice for repro parts. I've never bought from Tamraz or Parts Place mainly because I'm not an A-body owner. Year One was top notch at one time but I've heard their customer service and orientation is not what it was.

Kanter and USA Parts Supply can come thru with a lot of mechanical and electrical stuff; Kanter has always been a little expensive.

Jeff has brought up the Buick interchange. Armed with a good parts book, you can cross reference a lot of stuff between GM carlines.

Then there's guys like Steve DeNovi who specialize in NOS parts they've bought out from dealers. DeNovi doesn't do any 64-72 Cutlass stuff but he has piles of stuff for everything else and has always been pretty fair on pricing and shipping. There's others like him who do 64-72 A-body NOS parts, priced fairly.

And then there's still others who deal in NOS and price everything thru the roof. I personally don't see how those guys stay in business but they must be suckering someone. Yeah, NOS is best, but there's a limit to what normal folks can pay for these parts. All it takes is one person to pay a grand for a pair of G-body back-up lenses and it's on from there on out.
