I just set up a wholesale account with Grand Prix Automotive. They're a distributor for the some of the local independents and probably a ton of the repair shops.

Anyhow...they don't do a lot of import stuff. They carry a bunch of generic stuff like Anco, Autoline, Bluestreak and Fenco but they also carry Bosch alternators and starters. Carter, Castrol, Champion, Lucas Oil, Moog, NGK, NTK, Penzoil, Quaker State, Wagner, Walker and Wix Filters.

I have no intentions of competing with Brad and his hook-up at World-pac but I think we're not really offering the same stuff anyways.

Just an example...I just got some 2 1/2" aluminized steel exhaust tubing. Retail cash price was $66 for a 10' length. I can buy it for $18 for a 10' length. They stock all the Walker Dynomax stuff so if anyone needs piping or mandrel bends, let me know. I can get the mufflers too...

FYI, I got 15' of piping and two 180 degree mandrels for $60... sweet deal... :D

Cool stuff Dale!
I need a new caliper (LR) for an 88-91 lincoln markIV or continental (RWD lincoln anyway), can you see what they have? My 2000 Mazda 4x4 has a SSBC rear disc brake kit in it and the calipers are the lincoln rears I speak of. However, Worldpac sells almost no domestic parts and I have a leaky piston right now. If they have new units that would be great but let me know what they list.

Cheers! :D

Very, Very cool Dale.
The parts mark-up is unreal, nice to take advantage of these prices

Dale? Brad? what do you guys got?

My peirburg is leaking (not as bad as viks) and the spare one i have also leaks. Vik, I wouldn't be surprised if the spare spare I gave you also leaks. I think the rubber bellows just breaks down after 15 or 20 years...

Not even sure about the bosch/porsche unit that most tbrickers like. Matt says his is starting to leak too...
