Title: Mechanical parts - What's the best source?
Post by: Rafa on March 12, 2023, 10:18:57 AM
Hello,

I've been away from the brand for 20 years, and now I'm back with 4 big restoration projects.

Back in the day, when I restored a 1961 60-S, a 1963 75 and a 1965 60-S, I used to buy from places like Kanter, Caddy Corner, Cadillac King, Caddy Daddy and USA Parts Supply. I'm not even sure if they're still around. Ebay was just starting...

What are good sources for mechanical parts today? Such as engine, transmission, suspension, carb and tune-up kits, hoses and belts?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Thanks John for taking the time to writing that long list.

It's the cars that are on my signature, from 1957 to 1960.
