P.A.W. is gone??

I went looking for some parts from Performance Automotive Warehouse, and I got this page..

http://www.pawinc.com/

Now, in this day and age I completely understand a company falling back and regrouping, and even in some cases.. going out of business..

But this has left me wondering..
Is there that much of a buyer base out there to sell nothing but early Hemi parts?

Re: P.A.W. is gone??

I guess If you think about it on the basis of a worldwide market nowadays with the internet, maybe there is. I agree that narrowing yourself down to ONLY early HEMIs sounds a bit extreme. MOPAR only is completely understandable, but only HEMIs???

By the way, my first "performance" part EVER was ordered through P.A.W. It was a 3200 stall converter for my 68 stepside back in 1994. Kinda sad to see them change.

Re: P.A.W. is gone??

I’ve built a number of motors, piecing them together with PAW parts and kits and was always happy with the parts and quality. It’s sad to hear their limiting them selves to only Hemi parts. I guess the assembled crate motors are the primary way people are doing it now days.

Re: P.A.W. is gone??

I hadn't bought anything there for years, last time I went to our nearest one they were more geared to heavy truck parts. They always had really decent prices though.

Re: P.A.W. is gone??

They had the best deal for building 383s. What a waste to only supply the Hemi market. Makes me want to build Hemi eatin' Rats all the more with someone else's parts.
