I am looking for vintage Hot Rod engine parts/accessories from the late 50's and early 60's. I know about Fenton, Edmunds, Sharp Tattersfield, Hildebrandt. Are there any others? I am sure I am forgetting a bunch. Please help me out!
moon,delta,hilborn,joe hunt, mallory,isky, potvin, racer brown, jahns, sig erson, engle, sta-lube, casler, howards, crane...the list goes on....
Why? Are you building a car, setting up a museum or just speculating and hoarding parts to shore up your 401K?
Try the "Early Ford Store" in California. I stopped there a few years ago while vacationing and they had PILES of rare speed parts, with more coming in everyday. The owner was extremely nice and was a former employee of C.W. Moss. One of the magazines did an article on this store not too long ago. Awesome place.
I am building a car yes, but trying to learn as well. Just wanted to have a few new names to search for in the quest for oddball speed parts. No hoarding here!
try getting some speed equipment catalogs from the 50's and 60's. They come up on Ebay and other sites, and will provide you with lots of info on early parts.
yeah, like ALMQUIST ENGINEERING & NEWHOUSE. used to look at those, along with MOON & HONEST CHARLEY'S SPEED SHOP catalogs, when i was a kid, 'till i had 'em memorized. too bad i wasn't as interested in the school books!
Winfield, Eddy Edmunds, Mickey Thompson, did I hear Potvin, Ardun, B&M, Iskenderian, Speed Products, Sturdevant ... brain fry.
