I have been unable to get a catalog from OPG and am itching to spend some cash on the Buick. I am new to Buicks and have no catalogs and my webtv keeps me from looking at most technical online parts sites. Anyone have a recent or semi recent Opg catalog they would be kind enough to send my way? Thanks!
Tim, PM your particulars to me. I have an extra catalog because they sent me two!:bglasses: Maybe thats why they ran out. :Brow:
Anyone buy anything from them? I have their catalog, too, but it's filled with enough wrong info that I'm not sure I should give them my money.
OPG informed me just last week that they will not have Buick catalogs until May. I asked them for one more than a year ago, was assured I'd be on their list once printed, never got one, asked again this Nov., never got one, then I was informed none were available after being told again they'd ship me one. What a joke - some mail order company! ou: Turns out their marketing, sales, and warehouse people are all involved in getting these alledged answers to me; none of them talk to each other before spewing out BS. Just the same, they did have a big sale going so I price compared over the phone with Legendary on a bunch of items and ended up splitting my orders between the two. I expect shipments to arrive late next week. I'll report back on quality, etc.
Brad: Just wanted to let you know I just finished comparing prices on similar items in the OPG and Year One catalogs. Remember Year One gives us a 10 to 20 % discount when we mention our club affiliations. OPG hasn't done this for me yet. I find Year One is the better overall choice, then. But.... you may prefer OPG. I just wonder how their inventory supply stands when they can't supply catalogs.......o No: Russ Waters
OPG Anyone ordered a front end kit from OPG? In their "old" catalog they list a "improved" MOOG kit with better then OEM spec's, and a "standard" kit with whatever. Does MOOG make two levels of front end parts? I thought it was all OEM?? - Bill
I've had the same result trying to get an OPG Catalog, requested it three times with no response. Their website is useless without the catalog. I'd love to be able to do business with a California company but unless they get their game together I'll continue to use Year One and T/A (not that there's much available for 68's anyways). Len
Ya know Russ, I used to be high on Year One. Been ordering stuff from them since '85 or '86. But, in recent years they started charging me an arm and a leg or two for shipping and "handling" and the shipping time to the west coast from Tucker increased 2 or 3-fold. I used to see stuff from them in 3 days max - occasionally I'd blown away when items would arrive no more than two days after the order was placed - really amazing. Then quality of stuff began to drop off - Front spoiler number 1 delivered in '87 - beautiful gel-cote finish! Front spoiler number 2 delivered in '95 ugly unfinished junk that required tons of extra work before it could be mounted. WHAAA-Happened at Year One???? Get too big for their britches?? So instead of being a loyal customer they kinda lost me - now I've gotta shop around a bit which is a pain all by itself. There's another place out here www.chevylandparts.com that can supply a lot of the same stuff since the (choke) Chevelle shares many of the same chassis, and some of the same interior materials and colors. And they have a downloadable catalog - what a bonus. I do have to say I was really pleased with the service person at Legendary - she seemed to really have a handle on what she was doing.
year one i have had good luck using year one i have used them to buy all my line clamps and those things that aren't really worth trying to refinish however i did have to reuse those double line clamps that are for the brake and gas line.
If anyone has broadband.... I do have the OPG catalog in PDF format. It is about 160megs ..... That is...if it's OK with OPG to distribute it in PDF format
Not yet..... I will have to see if it will RAR or ZIP down a bit, then find a place to put it for everyone to download. It depends on the final size, I will check tonight when I get home. Mike
Welp....it does not zip at all.....looks like Adobe Distiller does a heck of a job on compression already..... Anyone have 160 megs sitting empty with a little bandwidth? The only other option would be to burn CD's ...... the download option would be much easier. o No: Mike
