RE: American Classic Motors
I think they are OK - but as mentioned - make sure you are 'bidding on' exactly what you want.
I think this is a pretty small operation. They do ship quickly.
I ordered Kuryakyn forwards several years back - they arrived quickly but I had issues with the splines on the shift shaft being chromed, and therefore - the fit was near impossible. I called them and they guys attitude was basically "it's custom - what did you expect". My answer -"I expect it to fit as advertized without filing and then using a sledge to get it on!". He reluctantly got me a new one thru Kuryakyn - the new one was no better so I just hammered it on.
All that being said - I can't hold them at fault for this and their feedback is quite good - I just bought a new Mustang seat from them - shipped yesterday and I get it tomorrow. They beat everone elses priice by a lot on this particular item!

Lieing A-HOLES!![:@][:@][:@] They ship fast but their shipping SUCKS! I got a set of Kuryakyn highway pegs that were cut open, thrown in the box with the packaging on top. No directions at all. Once I left them neutral feedback they slammed the crap out of me on ebay stating I was a terrible buyer with poor communications and immediatly asked me to mutually withdraw my feedback (wish I wouldn't have). They were paied immediatly with paypal and got an e-mail with all my info immediatly. Do a search and read the posts. I will never deal with them again no matter how good the deal. Good luck!! Bryan

RE: American Classic Motors
Thanks fellas I checked eastern performance like ya all have said and placed my order .I normally buy my stuff from my indy but he has been out (personal reasons ) for a while now .
Easterns prices where close and the feed back from ya ll was good on them soI paid a bit extra but hopefully will save me a hassle .
My feelings on whatI have read from ya ll on AMC is that its hit and miss they do have good feed back , but maybe they were stong armed in to it .
I may try them for a simpler purchase , but the oneI just placed was about 1700.00 and thats to much money for me to take a chance with a so/so company.
thanks agian

$1700 smackers? smart move!

I have purchased through ACM and have been content. Only 1 hiccup but they corrected it. For 1700 bucks, I'd look somewhere else too... It's hard to beat their price on Mustang seats though...

I've had good luck with them. Made purchase on eBay and they called me on phone to make all arrangements and make sure the item was correct. Fast shipping.

RE: American Classic Motors
I've also had good luck with them, bought a few things from them, on EBAY and straight up out of a catalog. So far so good.
I'm on the east coast, and I've had trouble with a couple of guys in California, but then again, had good luck with others there too. Hit and miss I guess.
