Can anyone out there in HAMB land tell me whatever happened to PAW? I remember buying performance engine build kits and other accessories from them, now they only offer Hemi parts. "Better to have and not need than need and not have"
From their ebay site. Effective 9/30/2010 P.A.W. is only selling Early Chrysler Hemi Engine Parts From their PAW web site. Our website is currently down while we are in the process of moving. We expect to be in our new facility after the new year and at that time will begin accepting new orders. Thank you for your patronage and have a wonderful holiday season! They have some stragglers on ebay.
Thanks for the reply but I'm wondering why they discontinued selling all the other things they used to. Too much compe***ion maybe?
The past few years of this recession have really taken a toll on many great companies and many that are still around are just holding on waiting for things to change. Not saying that's what happening to PAW but I do know there are others who have seen sales really slid a long way from where they were say 6 years ago. Times are ruff and many are holding on by their finger nails right now. Jimbo
I always thought they had pretty fair prices and their catalogue and advertising wasnt all glitzy which made them money concious in my mind ... sorry to see them downsize
They didn't have a huge warehouse. It was big enough for the volume they sold. They ordered parts from vendors just like everyone else. When the Keith Harvey sold it. I'm sure whomever bought it didn't have the balls or the money that was needed to move forward to keep It going. I worked in the machine shop for 10 years from 1980 to 1991. Was nice working there. It's sad knowing it closed.
Bought lots of 460 Ford parts there. Prices were outstanding and I never had any complaints. Very sorry to see them go.
