Anyone bought a reprint parts book from....

[Catfish]

this seller? Authorized reproductions. They have 10,250 positive feed backs to only 13 negs in the last year. But many of the negs are in reference to the quality of the exploded images. Thoughts?

Or am I better off spending 50% more for the real deal?

The Real deal appreciates in value, and is accurate. The copy Isn't always,and doesn't.

Good dealer, totally trustworthy, legit!

I have both, I got my reprint from them long before the internet, later got an original as I like to collect literature.

Yes the reprints are not as sharp as the originals, mine seams better than the current ones.

I bought a couple of manuals ('62 Lincoln, '68 Dodge) in the early '90s. Very good service. Quite happy with the products.

Does the original book in my second post above look like it would cover my 65 polara? To me it does, but some of the other 65 parts books look like this inside the front cover... Just want to get it right if someone wouldn't mind looking at the link in the second post.

Their good sellers. I bought a reprinted 69 book and it was not as good a quality as an original, some of the illustrations were to faint to be of use but still helpful. (I've since gotten an original book).
I think the extra cost of an original is worth while. It will never be less valuable.

This is the 1965 parts book, it covers all domestic passenger cars so yes it covers your Polara. Throughout Chrysler literature the full size cars are simply "Dodge", "Chrysler", "Plymouth". Within the literature they break it down as needed.

I have an original parts book and It has some update pages in it. I would go with the original one and then buy a CD parts book to print a page or illustration. I have an original FM and I'm going to get the CD version too for the same reasons.

Thanks....LOL!

I just bought the FSM and Parts Book CD's for $60 including shipping.

I've bought three FSMs on CD from them and have been very happy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

No 1978's on that site.

That's OK......I'll have my CD's next week.

Did you get an original or reprint? I went with an original myself.

I have 2 sets of original FSM's and an original Parts Book for my 1978 NYB. I just got the FSM and Parts Book on CD this week. I was lucky....I bought one set of FSM's for $25 on EBay and the other set for $2 on EBay. I paid $50 for my Parts Book.

I also bought the Data and Trim books for $25. I have a reprint owners manual. Also have the original sales brochure and postcard for my NYB. I believe I have every piece of literature available for my 1978 NYB.
