Anyone familiar with nostalgicairparts.com?

Now that theres funny, I don't care who you are, thats funny!

Doesn't mean they are a bad company, but it does look like they are blowin their own horn.

I personally would not want to be a aftermarket A/C company going up against Vintage Air and their long reputation. VA makes 90% of their kit including their own heater cores in San Antonio Texas. The Gen IV was adapted to the $200K Ford GT for Ford Motor Company. That is OEM quality stuff right there.

I am not saying one thing bad about this company because I know nothing about them.

What I do know is were Top 25 in sales last year and easily already in the Top 10 this year because their product is so easy to sell. I have been to Vintage Air, toured the facility, done a few days of training, and know a lot about the company. I DO NOT know their financials, but it is obvious to me apples to apples, I see no way someone could sell a comparable system for 40% less, period. I would promise they are not equal units.

If their unit is a cable unit, I have a Vintage Air cable unit I can sell for $900 minus compressor, get a little closer to you budget.

I dont know what Nostalgic has done to you but I am sure if you gave them a call they could clear it up.

Just noticed this let me clear this up:

jgdlude / jgd racing was a group we used to have back in Gainsville, FL for me and my SCCA buddies and lude was because I drove a PRELUDE!! at the time, just so there is no confusion.

Thanks again, Steve

Then someone that has the same name as you is using the same screen name you use at the Jeep forum. And on other forums.

I will say it again, doesn't mean anything but your hyping your own stuff. Does not mean the product is good or bad.

PS. I see you edited the post, I quoted it for you.

I quoted your original post before you edited it to this.

So to answer your question, nothing sir. Your company has done nothing to me. Never even knew about your company until yesterday.

The post smelled, other members pointed it out. The second post smelled bad enough for me to look into it more.

You could easliy have come and said, Hello, I am the owner and bla, bla bla,. And our stuff is the best because bal,bla.bla, and no one would have thought twice about it.

Well I dont work for , own , or next door neibors with but I am one of their customers looking out for someone I do business with and I would hope you have people that would expect you to to the same. I was jsut answering the original posters question. And once again sorry for the confusion.

I have delt with them recently !!! Here is a copy of the email I just sent the them.


To whom it may concern,
I tried to resolve this over the phone, but that didn't work!! I bought a drier from you and it did not fit.Your company was willing to give me a refund but refused to give me a shipping label. I emailed a picture of the stock drier and your drier, side by side. I thought your company might be more understanding if they could see what I was trying to explain.(The tube going to the condenser is about an inch to long, thus not allowing me to mount it) Also your company told me that your drier was correct and that my Jeep must be to blame. "your jeep must have been altered" No my Jeep is completely stock with 0 body damage. Now I will copy & post this email on every car website I visit. And I will file a complaint with the BBB.If you wish to pay for return shipping, I may reconsider.
Sincerely
H. Allen K

Ok cool, I hope my last post expains things for you. It just seemed like it was your mission to discredit them. And I am like you a small shop who sells parts and does installs. I did the Vintage thing and I still do just did a 64 vette 2 months ago. But I have customers who trully cannot afford that kind of money. Well I am in business to do business and if I can sell my customer a kit from the guys at Nostalgic installed for 1400 with heat / Air and Defrost and still make money and have a happy customer! That sounds like a WIN WIN situation to me. So please once again I am sorry for the confusion earlier and hope to be hangin on this forum for awhile.

Thanks, Steve

Here is the bottom line. I am not Jon Delucia, I know who they are and I do post to forums on their behalf sometimes. I just called Jon and let him know about the this forum. he a small guy with a great company. I personally know about 60 guys here in FL that have his kits and everyone is very happy with their A/C. Just because his kits are not 1000 and up does not make them a bad kit. They make every kit by hand in Tampa, I have been to the warehouse. The cool thing is if you need one part from anhy of his kits he will send it to you!! I was donig a install in a 69 camaro and need some flat ABS that matched the unit and he sent it to me 2ftx2ft sheet. I know for a fact no other A/C company out there will help you out in the middle of an install!! So think what you want but until you have actually done business with them, do not assume. I am sorry for the confusion of who is who but now you know. I am in Orlando and if anyone wants to see pics of Nostalgic installs we have done here let me know.

Thanks, Steve

So you lie on the other forums by saying that you ARE Jon Delucia?
