Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

Found this on ebay today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ALL-A...QQcmdZViewItem

Seems to be a good deal, as it's all aluminum and it's supposed to fit without any modifications. Has anyone ever bought one of these radiators from this guy?

Let us know how it turns out. Sounds like a good deal. I think I might get one when I get the money.

Re: Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

Well, I ended up buying one, and Bible scriptures aside, it's a good radiator. It seems to be well built and it fit right in the car without any trouble. My car also seems to run a bit cooler than it did with the original radiator as well. I didn't think to take any pics of it before I put it in, but I can take a few of it in the car if anyone's interested.

I'll post here again a few month's from now after I've seen how it holds up this summer.

Re: Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

thanks for the info, I'll keep on eye on this thread and hopefully it'll hold up... maybe their Bible scriptures is a hint at their honesty and good business practice in not selling crappy products...

Re: Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

Well, half a year later and the radiator's held up just fine. I'm very pleased with it so far. And since my original link's dead, here's the link to the guy's ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/CLASSIC-RADIATORS

Re: Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

not trying to put the radiator down or anything, but judging by the picture, if it is the actual one he is selling, looks like a stock core size, and similar to the $100 modine replacement besides the aluminum end tanks. is it a two row? and do you know what tube sizes it has? if you are looking for a better cooling radiator, i think i would rather spend the extra $60 bucks and get a griffin universal 31x19 with a 3" core. or if you're looking for a stockish radiator, a modine would be a good choice, its $100 bucks and has an aluminum core with plastic end tanks, and there is very minimal benefit to the end tanks being aluminum.

Re: Anyone ever buy one of these radiators?

Doesn't the firebird and camaro have the same size rad? Cause the one listed for the camaro is 20 bucks cheaper and has a part number of 951AA-2 but the firebird one has a part number of 951AA? Plus the one ad says it will cool 750HP then you search 82-92 firebird and another one with the same model number says it will cool 500HP?
