From what I can see, they know what they've got, and probably charge accordingly!
Lotsa 'not reproduced' and 'hard to find in this condition' pieces = +$+$+$!!
Kinda scary, them having a resto shop on premises - how do you know your parts weren't switched with some repaired junk??

GM Sports

GM Sports has a great reputation, and stands behind their parts. They have been in business for more than 30 years.!

It's great to see someone had the ability to predict the value of holding on to them old girls through the years.

I wish they had some additional 1969 Cutlass/442 parts.

Thanks for the link.

definitely "priced" whether accordingly or not is a buyer's choice. Seems high to me on some of the items I saw.

I drive pass that place almost everyday. They are pretty pricey, but they do have the parts. What they have is not a real big yard, but they let you walk around and check it out. Yes they know what they have, and they ship parts all the time.

They didn't hold onto them for years - new stuff comes in all the time. They're parting and crushing with a pretty quick turnaround. It's rust-free San Jose where those cars are still roaming the streets in the Bay Area. About ten years ago, I used to be in San Francisco at least one week per month for work and I was always amazed by the vintage cars in driveways, parked along the streets, everywhere.

I've picked up a few things from them over the past decade or so - no complaints.

Thumbs up

I live in Mass., but worked for a company in Milpitas for a number of years.

Used to stop there on business trips.

On one visit, the guy behind the counter says: "You have a funny accent. Where are you from?" I told him I was from the Boston area. He proceeds to tell me that he grew up in Worcester, Mass. (pronounced Woosta here).

I get a long tour of the yard. Nothing like rust free Cali cars.....

I'm from the bay area and this place it a couple miles from me. This place is ok at most. There are cheaper part sources on the net.
