• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I'm looking for an F body brake setup, need everything for the conversion. local junkyards dont have anything, and cant spend much, money is tight right now.
 


I have two sets of F-Body brakes. I was going to powder coat them, and rebuild them, and drill the bracket for the w-body bolts and sell them.

Interested in the stock how they sit now form? or the rebuilt form?

~F~
 
well, make me an offer on the as is set(s)

powdercoated, rebuilt, & modified I'd let go for $300.00/set.

These are the ones I redid on my GTP back in 2002/2003

I bought them from a seller on ebay years ago. I don't recall his name. He sold all kinds of wheels. You can't find them any more, because they are discontinued.

Dude, rebuilt calipers on Rockauto go for $60+ each... No powder coat. You know the rules... You gotta PAY if you wann play, lol

Calipers, rotors you will need too, new pads, and might as well do stainless lines as well, it adds up. You are better off saving up and then doing it right, than to do it half-ass... Just my $.02
 
and they go for 50 a pair on ebay used. rebuild kits cost next to nothing.

cant blame a guy for trying to pick up parts on the cheap. for all you know he's buying the parts over time.
 
Just so you know these calipers do warp or something else that causes them to wear unevenly . I have documented this on RGS forum and others had same issues.
Brand new rotors and pads and I was only getting contact on the top half of the rotor. This was a caliper I replaced a few months back due to snapping off a bleeder installing stainless braided lines. . I got it from the junkyard. Tossed old pads on and went on my way. Never noticed until I re did my brakes in the spring with all new pads and rotors.
The other side did the same but not as much.
i went to advsnce auto , ordered 2 new calipers and used codes making them dirt cheap. Guess what. Worked flawlessly.
Aluminum calipers never needed powdercoat as much as the cast iron ones did. Rattle can and go. Cast iron- rusts through eventually
 
Just buy the ones off ebay. Its buy it now, so you don't have to worry about anyone outbidding you. I'm not letting mine go that cheap. I'm not doggin on buying parts on the cheap. I'm not going to give mine away though.

I wasn't ragging on doing it on the cheap, just making note that sometimes ppl have unrealistic expectations of what is involved to do a mod correctly.

I like Miyagi's saying...
It's like chicken crossing the road, you stay, or you go...
But you go half way...

Squish!!!!

lolz

:D
 


I understand you dont want to let them walk away. I've sold stuff on here too when people tossed out numbers that were too low, but I still didn't let it go for as cheap as they wanted it. how much would you have to have to let them go? do you do the powder coating yourself or take it to a shop?
 
I take them to a shop, I have the pros do them. Seen the "at home" jobs, and have yet to be impressed with those. lol Been using the same company since 1998.

Just buy the ones off ebay, mine won't sell that cheap.

~F~
 
Marshall, let me look in the garage this week. I've got an old set somewhere that I don't have a problem letting go cheap if I can find them.
Should be brackets and all, and you can rebuild them on your dime. :)
