Day in and day out, Virginia Classic Mustang has the best prices and customer service. Virginia Classic Mustang - Classic Ford Mustang Parts
Sometimes they may not have an item, and I use NPD or Mustangs Unlimited. You need to check prices with them, but they never beat VCM prices.
NPD service is usually OK, but I would rate VCM as the best overall.

I have to agree with Cobra, VCM is top notch. Bought almost all my parts from them and have been very happy. They even went extra yards on a couple of items I was not originally happy with (and not their fault)

RDW mustang of Reno, NV has by far the best customer support i've ever encountered. It is definately worth the 2 hour drive there from Sacramento

I work 5 minutes from the GA location of Mustangs Unlimited and I have to say my experience with them has been mixed, if not poor. My wife went in and asked for a hatchback rear carpet for my '92 and they gave her carpet for a coupe. I bought motor mounts, installed them and the motor was tilted. I removed them and saw that they were very different and they told me they won't take them back because I installed them. They also admitted that every other set of this particular set of mounts that they have in stock are mis-matched.

I'm just saying be careful.

I used npd and laurel mountain mustang. Laurel Mountain's front end kit was a breeze to install and works great. I just picked up the leaf spring kit and will toss it in there as soon as I get my engine dialed in.

+ 1 for Virginia Classic Mustangs, they are great and helped me a lot when I was looking for "extra" bolts and nuts not on their catalogue. Shipping to Monaco via USPS is a must, delivered to my office within a week, attractive prices etc... It's already three shipment they made to me to my entire satisfaction and there is more to come !!!!

The first time i ordered parts i used mustangdepot. They were good but I guess i didnt order there again after the first order was on back order for a month. The next place i tried was Americanpony. They said the parts would be here in 2 weeks then they say there on back order then i call back they say they sent them so 2 weeks later i emailed and they admitted they didnt have the parts, so that wasted 2 months of my restoration. The last place i tried was Cal-Mustang. They had all my parts here in 3 days but they sent a grille, stone deflector, valence panel, grille, inner/outer bumper arms and all my bolt kits in one box and the grille was damaged and everything else was scratched but luckily for them i sanded/painted anyway, but ihave to say the parts couldve been made better but they still worked.

I have used several Mustang parts vendors over the last 20 years. The ones that stand out to me, in no special order, are Dallas Mustang, Mustangs Unlimited, CJ Pony Parts, Virginia Classic Mustang, and Tony Branda Shelby. Now, on the flip side, and only my own personal opinion, I would steer clear of John's Mustang in Texas. Now I know a previous poster liked them, but I do not. I placed two seperate orders with them. Both orders I used the part numbers right out of their catalog. Both times they sent me the wrong stuff or from the wrong year. What really took the cake was when I ordered repo chrome wiper arms and blades and they sent me the same cheap plastic things I could have got at Wal-mart. When I called to complain I was only then told that the arms had been on back order for weeks and nobody knew when more would come in. The salesman told me that they shipped me those so I would at least have something. What a total crock!!!! They could have told me this at the time of the order. They charged me for the original chrome style. I sent all the wrong stuff back and it took a couple months to get my money out of them. I have friends in my local Mustang club that had issues with them as well.


This is only my two cents worth, so please just take it as you will.
