Default Wilson`s Ford Parts

Hey,guys

Does anyone here remember Wilson`s Ford Parts on Folsom Blvd. near 65th St in the late 60`s and early 70`s?

Used to be a great visit to see all those great parts, and buy from time to time ,as one could afford it.

I remember someone said he was still around, I think.

Hi Maurice,
I was nice to meet you at JDOG'S comming out party.
In the 70's I would stop by Wilson's most every Friday to make a donation to my addiction. They are long ago out of business. But during the last 20 years I have run into Gary Wilson many times. He would see me driving my GT350 and wave me down,,,,and talk about the old days. Many of his old employees are members of the River City Shelby Club.

Respectfully, Gary

I can't believe what a small world this is. I would be down to Wilson's every chance I got. I put a 302 into a TR3 and Gary was ever so helpful and friendly. I went back for a visit some time after he closed his shop and was sad to see it gone. Great memories.

Likewise on meeting you ,Gary

My wife was driving our Hertz GT-350 a lifetime ago and had come to a stop. Here came this bearded guy out of nowhere passing out business cards.

The good old days

That was the good old days. My buddy got a cam there and some other stuff . I got some stuff there also and a orig. shelby fender when I crunched my fender about 1978 or so. Yeah, they are long gone. Thought about them a couple of years ago.
