The Ultimate Source for Classic Car Suspension & Chassis Parts
The suspension system is the backbone of your vintage restoration. Over decades, rubber bushings rot, springs sag, and joints develop dangerous play. At Old Car Parts NW (OCPNW), we help you put the joy back into driving your classic.
Why Choose Our NOS or NORS Suspension Parts? Unlike modern cheap reproductions, many of our NOS (New Old Stock) and New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) items were manufactured in the USA during the golden era of automotive engineering. These parts offer superior steel quality and rubber compounds often matching or exceeding original OEM specifications.

-
Steering Components: Eliminate play with precision Idler Arms, Pitman Arms, and Center Links.

Feed the Beast: Vintage Fuel System Parts & Pumps
A vintage engine is only as reliable as its fuel delivery. Whether you are battling the dreaded "vapor lock" on hot days, dealing with a carburetor that floods, or trying to diagnose a fuel gauge that never reads "Full," the fuel system is often the culprit.
At Old Car Parts NW, we specialize in NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) fuel components that keep your classic running strong, even with today’s modern gasoline blends.

The Real Deal: Genuine NOS & OEM Parts for Ford, GM & Mopar
For the serious restorer, "close enough" isn't good enough. When you are building a points-judged show car or simply want the absolute best quality for your survivor, you need Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts.
At Old Car Parts NW, we have curated a special collection of NOS (New Old Stock) items. These are not reproductions; they are the original factory parts manufactured decades ago, often still in their iconic original boxes.
Why Buy Genuine NOS?
-
Perfect Fitment: These parts were engineered by the same people who built your car. No grinding, bending, or modifying required.
-
Factory Correctness: Essential for maintaining "numbers matching" status and maximizing points at car shows.
-
Superior Quality: Factory plating, heavy-gauge steel, and validated rubber compounds that often exceed the quality of modern aftermarket replacements.
Our Brands Include:

Ford/Lincoln/Mercury: Genuine FoMoCo, Autolite, and Motorcraft parts.

Total Temperature Control: Vintage Cooling & Heating Systems
Managing temperature is the key to a reliable classic car. Whether you are trying to keep your engine cool in summer traffic or keeping your cabin warm during a winter cruise, the Cooling and Heating systems work hand-in-hand.
At Old Car Parts NW, we offer a comprehensive catalog of NOS (New Old Stock), NORS (New Old Replacement Stock), and OEM components to restore your vehicle's thermal management systems to factory specifications.
The NOS/NORS Quality Difference
-
Cooling (Engine Protection): Modern aftermarket water pumps and radiators often use lightweight aluminum or plastic that looks wrong and wears out fast. Our inventory focuses on Cast Iron Water Pumps and Copper/Brass Radiators that match the durability and thermal properties of the original parts.
-
Heating (Cabin Comfort): A leaking heater core can ruin your carpet and fog your windshield. We stock authentic Copper Heater Cores and Metal Control Valves (Ranco/Everhot) that outlast cheap plastic replacements.
Browse Our Systems:
-
Cooling: Water Pumps, Radiators, Thermostats, Hoses, and Fan Clutches.
-
Heating: Heater Cores, Blower Motors, Control Valves, and Switches.
-
Sensors: Temperature sending units to keep your gauges accurate.
Stop on a Dime: Vintage & NORS Brake Parts
There is no system on your classic car more critical than your brakes. If you are experiencing a "soft" pedal, pulling to one side, or losing fluid, it is time for a safety overhaul. On vintage vehicles, internal corrosion in hydraulic cylinders is the #1 cause of brake failure.
At Old Car Parts NW, we specialize in NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) brake components from the most trusted names in American automotive history: Wagner Lockheed, Raybestos, Bendix, and EIS.
Why Choose NORS Hydraulics?
-
USA Iron Castings: Many of our NORS master and wheel cylinders are cast from high-grade iron that resists pitting better than lightweight modern aluminum replacements.
-
Superior Rubber: Vintage kits often feature high-quality EPDM cups and boots designed to withstand the heat of drum brake systems without swelling.
