Default Wilcox or Willcox

Has anyone every purchased interior parts from Wilcox at www.yankeelady.com? How was the quality? Why so much cheaper than everyone else?

I've heard good things about wilcox, don't know about yankee lady.

I don't buy off wilcox simply because of the extra 6% tax it costs me being in the same state.

I replaced door panels on my 70 from wilcox.............price was great, quailty was excellent, Fitting them was the issue.................They took some work positioning, but looked good when they were done, I'd say about an hour per side, you have to cut the window crank hole and the screw holes.
They did take about 3 weeks to receive after I ordered them.

A lot of guys on the forum swear by Al Knock.................I have no experience with that supplyer so I can't give an opinion.

Good luck with your choice

Butch

I bought my carpet from Wilcox's ebay store. They went the extra mile to make sure I got the right color shade for my year and shipped it out fast. Good folks.

Go to http://www.willcoxcorvette.com/

They are great to deal with. They have some of the best prices.
I've bought lots of stuff from them and they are top notch.

They emailed me color samples of the two different ones used that year so I could pick the right one.

I have purchased several items from Wilcox. I believe yankee lady is their email address. If I remember they are one in the same.

Their ebay store tends to have some really good prices. But it's a toss of the dice to whether or not they have what you're looking for. At least beyond basic interior stuff. Still worth the look though.

Redid my entire interior with Willcox, everything was great and the price was the best I found. Check out my Corvette pictures to see the interior.
