If you have the will and plenty of extra garage space ready for a major foray of New Old Stock auto parts, this is a steal. All Classic Motors, located in tiny Velva, North Dakota, apparently bought excess parts and now has a surplus they need to sell.
In the photos, I saw original Ford parts along with the Autolite and Motorcraft brands. According to the list, All Classic Motors intends to dispose of more than 20,000 line items (more than 40,000 real items) composed of NOS 1963-1978 and original Ford parts, mainly Mustang 1964-1973, Shelby, Mach 1 & Boss. If you are starting a restoration on a Galaxie, Torino, Panther, Cobra Jet, Tiger, Fairlane, Cyclone, Cougar, Maverick or Falcon (or all of the above), this would be a wonderland. Engine parts for Ford 289, 390, 427, 428 and 429 are also in the mix.
All Classic Motors has been selling vintage Mustangs and Ford pieces from the 60s and 70s to customers around the world for more than 30 years and sells complete sets. JD Larson, the owner of All Classic Motors, has four decades of experience in the classic Mustang and is an accredited judge of the Mustang Club of America.
Larson fell in love with Mustangs when he was 13, when a neighbor took him for a ride on his 1970 Mach 1, and at 16 he saved $ 650 to buy his own Mustang. He evaluated a 1967 Mustang Coupe and was ready to put his money in his pocket, but his mother ended the idea. I am sure his mother endured the wrath of his disappointment until his 16th birthday, when she appeared in the garage with that same 1967 Mustang as a gift for him.
His loyalty to Ford is reflected in his meticulous organization: the parts he sells have all been cataloged and filed under Ford’s part number order and stored in a warehouse with controlled temperature and humidity. The entire lot is only available for local collection; you could take a plane and fly to Minot International Airport and drive 30 minutes southwest to Velva, or start in the state capital of Bismarck, pick up some donuts and drive north to Velva to take a look at the collection.
Bring your checkbook, as you do not leave with the pieces until you are fully paid off. This is an excellent opportunity if you are starting a new business specializing in parts; and 2021 seems like a good time to try something new.
