Yes, only problem is by the time you get the mag the part is already sold. :rolleyes:

It's delivered bulk mail, so there is differential delivery to various parts of the country. By the time you get the magazine, many/most of the good deals are gone.

My next door neighbor is an NCRS member. Sometimes he gets his Driveline 3-4 days before or after me. Members who live closer to the mailing point get it quickly, others get it 2-3 weeks later. NCRS won't put the Driveline "online", nor will they increase their dues to pay for "first class" mail. It's been a problem for DECADES. Check the archives on the NCRS Board. :) That being said, there are TONS of rare original parts listed. Chuck

I am an NCRS member and receive the Driveline. It is great for parts but the speciality advertizers (clocks, speedos, etc) are a resource as well. They are small shops and not known nationally but they have a lot of expertise.

Yes, I purchased a set of 68 7" inch ralley wheels and a 68 jack with lug wrench. I also sent the money for a 68 NOS big block hood with latches but when the fellow discovered how much shipping charges would be from Wisconson, I declined and he refunded my money.

Yep, about 3 years ago I was on a committee that did a feasibility study putting the classifieds on line...we had every base covered, advertising costs, wheather or not to charge advertising...our recommendations were presented to the board and the board shot it down. That was a total waste of nine months. Better put, the board was ignorant to the wishes of the membership. To be fair, the board's concern was that members without on line access would be at a disadvantage...our counter was every library provides on line access, but that fell on deaf ears.

An under used section of the Driveline is the 'parts wanted' section. I just list what I'm looking for, with my email address and stand back. It doesn't matter how long it takes for the magazine to get here, my inbox is already overflowing with offers to sell me what I want.

Since this is using the concept of the magazine 'backwards', I suggested that it be re-named 'Enilevird'. The BOD filed my suggestion right next to Georgies' on-line study. :lol:
