Re: Dennis Carpenter Employee ?
Bob Jones and I have known each other for well over a decade. He has always been fair to me and has taken hours looking up information about parts numbers and the like for me at various times. Bob recently got married and at this time or soon he will be out for a couple of months for medical reasons.
Bob has handled the NOS V-8 Ford parts for Dennis Carpenter far longer than I have known him. On the NOS sheetmetal there is a computer list with the prices set by someone higher up the pecking order than Bob and those prices are sometimes high, but sometimes a real bargain. Bob did not price the NOS sheetmetal, someone else did and some of the identifications that individual made are incorrect. There is also a fairly extensive collection of used sheetmetal, some of which is very nice. I do not know who prices that. There are also various trailers full of stuff like wheels and I do not know who prices that.
Bob does sell some of his own stuff. He has some unusual and rare pieces and some of his prices are far too high for me, but I really do not collect dealer items and the like so even a dollar would be more than I would spend.
If you like really high prices, Dennis Carpenter's son was selling a lot of stuff one year during the Charlotte Auto Fair and some of the prices for things that were not even unusual were breathtaking.
Bob Jones? I like him. I hope he regains his health and enjoys many years with his new spouse.
