So where do people sell their (old) car parts now?

I've been checking out both XP and XW Falcon parts listings every day and in the last year or so it's just the same old listing. Mainly marked up new parts from over seas that I can get from anywhere (for a lot cheaper). This site used to be full of interesting spare parts for sale for my old cars. Now there's jack.

Yea I know the feeling, it's happening to most gear thats in between .
not new & REALLY old.
If it's simply "old" then it's considered "bin only"
Computers /clothing/ toys are the same.
Yea I hate that too.

theyre old enough now (& the cars value has escalated enough) that many are hanging onto stuff that not long ago theyd let go of

People must be hoarding for some reason, plenty of parts available for English stuff (I only watch for mini stuff but see plenty of other stuff). Best bet is probably through the clubs.

What parts do you need!

If it is body parts, then they are at a premium price for any thing that is salvageable.

What new parts can you get for an XP and XW Falcon!

You can get most panels for XW XY's new, bonnets, front guards, doors etc. It's the small bits and pieces that are hard to find. Column parts, non GT style mirrors, little brackets etc. and station wagon bit are even harder to find.

a good supply of xp parts in canterbury would be good.

Horopito wreckers has XP wagons stacked along its fence, those cars were rare new after the first few models fell to pieces mosy buyers were very wary of Falcons by then

and then theFalcon went on to one of the best selling Fords in NZ for many years to come.

When my brother [since deceased] came back from Aussie he brought a container of bits and bobs back.mainly XA and XY.they were his passion.a lot has been sold off but there is still lots of little bits [some still in original packets].if anyone was interested I could toss the lot into a drum and make a listing.
