Friends of Fordnatics

While I'm concerned about the Internet, and the World-Wide Web in particular, turning into the Infomercial SuperBUYway at the hands of marketeers who can't see the forest for the greed, car freaks like myself occasionally need to buy parts and supplies.

The businesses represented on this page are run by fellow Fordnatics who have proven to be honest souls, and who support the Fordnatics list by providing technical tips when appropriate. I do not hesitate to recommend their services. Here they are in no particular order.

• Jim Dingell's Performance Parts Inc. is a prime source of parts for 1979-up Mustangs, and specializes in genuine Ford parts for 1993-95 Mustang Cobras, 1994 Indy Pace Cars, and 1982-93 Mustang Special Service (police) parts. Jim also runs the Mustang Special Service Registry, for owners of police Mustangs. Jim is also a frequent Fordnatics contributor, with authoritative info on late Mustangs and other special Fords.
• Are you a Falcon fan? Ron Boesl is, so much so that he only drives Falcons! His shop, Northwest Classic Falcons, specializes in Falcons, Mercury Comets, and 1960-'67 Econoline trucks, and has been in business since 1981. Contact Ron at ron@nwfalcon.com.
• Truppi-Kling High Performance is another race engine shop. Check out their 940 HP supercharged 5.0 liter engine!
• Concours Classics and Customs specializes in early and late Mustangs, and musclecar restorations.
• Edelbrock is now on the Web, with a complete catalog and lots of historic photos! Starting with the legendary V8-60 flatheads, Edelbrock has been making hot-rod parts for Fords for two generations. Their aluminum Windsor heads and late-model EFI manifolds continue the tradition.
• Primarily a resource for Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealers, the Ford Managers Association page also features the Ford Parts Export System, a parts-finding system drawing on over 5,000 Ford dealers, and offering world-wide shipping.
