hey I can add to this one...

I paid a gazzillion dollars for a nos 130 alternator for my 92 CHP car. When "it" got here I had to take the original off my 92 FHP car, take them both to a machine shop and have the thing put on a c-n-c machine to make it correct. Turns out it was a replacement Bronco alternator that was/is still available. Then there was the time I paid a gazzillion dollars for a 130 amp alternator bracket for the same 92 CHP car and it arrived with the engineering/part numbers all ground off. Then there was the time I paid 10 gazzillion dollars for a set of nos 85 center caps that I was required to call him about 3 times a week for 6 months before he was finally able to find the time and "look to see if he had them". I also bought one of the trunk mats that were wrong, although advertised as nos. I sent it back.

I also had several positive experiences buying stuff from him. however the bottom line is that it got old being able to buy one week, then being on his sh*t list the next week and being banned blah blah. This is a guy that advertises stuff so you know he has it, but refuses to sell it. I decided a long time ago that he can keep his parts. It isn't worth all the drama to be a customer. I will forever recommend to anyone and everyone to be very careful buying from him.

They show up on ebay from time to time. Craigs also. You got to be patient.

I appreciate the input on this vendor. I recieved the wheel and the plastic squares and screws that mount the cap to the wheel today.The total cost with shipping was $203.00. I am under time restraints to show my car soon and this was the only option for me. This is the only vendor that I have found with the 85/86 wheels in stock. I have been watching ebay and craigslist and have had no luck in my search to date. The price was high but the wheel is in near new condition. Remember it is all about supply and demand.

FYI, A 14" Fairmont wheel has the same center as the 15" Police wheel. Stockton wheel will take that center and install it on a 15" wheel at a reasonable cost. The end result is a exact match to the 85/86 ssp wheels.

Can you post a pic of the Fairmont wheel that you are referring to?
