Please tell me it aint so.. James is great to deal with.

Tinker · 10-13-2015, 07:31 PM

Bummer

I don't know the economic numbers of job lots business but it seems a shame it wasn't passed on like they did with h&h. Believe they are doing well.

Best of luck too all involved.

Ken Crans · 10-13-2015, 08:18 PM

Many times have i dealt with James and his knowledge to this great hobby.. Yea its too bad he couldn't take it over. Another good company lost... Too bad.

Just heard about this today and learned that Chuck www.chuckstrucksllc.com has been buying up a large part of their Ford inventory and will be expanding his own parts dept.

dude · 10-14-2015, 03:58 PM

One of the last places you could buy quality parts form quality people. They will be missed..

Geeze, I didn't want to hear that. End of an era.

russcc · 10-14-2015, 06:08 PM

Sorry to hear that. I did run into a small scale source for Ford parts at Hershey that many of you probably know of, but I hadn't heard mentioned before hear. Third Gen Auto in Minneville TN. Got an NOS '40 p/up steering column mast jacket from them. Job Lot, Spadarro & Tracy Brown will never be replaced, but we still have Fred Wilner, Southside Obsolete, in MN, Ray Helgers, Rays Antique Parts in RI & Then & Now Automotive in Weymouth MA, thank goodness. Those parts have to go someplace.

Jason in TX · 10-14-2015, 06:14 PM

This is terrible.

CT AV8 · 10-15-2015, 11:58 AM

I sent an inquiry for parts Tuesday at 1:15. James responded at 3:45 and apologized for the "slow reply"!
I placed the order at 4:45. James confirmed the order 9:00 am Wednesday and said it would "go out today". It was at my door this morning (Thursday) at 9:45 am.
I asked about them winding down and this was his response:

Fred
You're are welcome and it's my pleasure.
Yes, the rumors are true. After the passing of one of our Bosses in January, the decision was made to try and sell the business. At this time, it seems very unlikely that the business will be purchased as a whole, and most likely the remaining inventory will be sold off, the building will be sold, and Joblot will be gone for good. It is a shame, but all good things must come to an end.........Time for a changing of the guard I guess. We shall see what the future brings

Thank you for your interest and support. It has been guys such as yourself that kept these doors open for so many years, and for that we are all grateful

Be well

Wow, what a class act. Sad to see them go. Best of luck to all involved.

glennsanders · 10-17-2015, 07:54 AM

That sucks.Joblot was a great source for parts and information. James was the Best.Sorry for their lose and wish everyone involved the best.

19Fordy · 10-17-2015, 11:20 AM

Oh no, Joe! Say it ain't so.
In this case, "The sky really is falling."
JOB LOT should be put on the National Resister of Historic Places.
Thank you JOB LOT for all the folks you helped over so many years.
You have served the car community well.

revenski · 01-14-2016, 12:06 PM

I'm sorry that I'm late to find this thread and to learn that Joblot and James are truly no longer around. I entered the realm of the early flathead Ford only recently, unlike many who have been there forever. It was June, 2014 that I took delivery on my ’38 Tonner and began a total mechanical, frame and body restoration. I was quickly pointed in the direction of Joblot and James. He was a tremendous help in identifying and locating many difficult to find quality parts. James always went out of his way and made you feel like you were the only customer he had to deal with. I feel that my success in the stock restoration of my Tonner is at least in part due to James. He got me on the right track and kept me moving that way.

30-9 · 01-14-2016, 01:54 PM

I seem to recall another thread that said joblot was purchased by Mac vanpelt. I don't recall if James or same reach number is still good

Graeme / New Zealand · 01-14-2016, 01:58 PM

I only used them once and that was for good quality US made ignition parts. I'm glad I bought some extra sets of points now.

thank you JOBLOT

Glad to hear he is still at it. Thanks for the info.

Bluebell · 01-15-2016, 02:32 PM

I too am similar to Revenski, in having found James just great to deal with. I too am glad he is continuing in the game. He told me he will be on a small scale to start with.
I wish him success in his new venture and will in my small way, try to support him.
