It's kinda weird how people get with celebrities.


Sometimes you see people on tv and just adore them for no reason other than that you think they are cool. You don't know them personally but just think they are best thing since crunchy peanut butter.

I used to buy parts from uncle Tony, and didn't think much of it other than that he was getting a chunk of my income and I was getting all the car parts I wanted.

Now that I've been following him on YouTube, I can say I'm a huge fan.

The other day I found a carburetor i had bought from him, still in the box.

I almost want to preserve the carb and box and keep it like an autographed item from a Great.

To have a carburetor that man packed himself in the box and wrote out my name and address, feels pretty freaking special.

I feel like I went to concert and got a backstage pass to meet someone In the ranks of ozzy Osbourne.

Who knew

One of the first items I bought off here was from Uncle Tony it was 69 Dart custom side trim was a great deal.
 
He goes by whitepunknitro or something similar to that
I thought so.. I got my direct connection Chrome distributor hold down from him..
of course you wouldn't know it by looking at it and you can barely see it on the back of the motor but I have the package that it came in so I know what it is....
He gave me a good deal on it...

No bad mouthing here, but I always thot he was too high on parts, and found them cheaper else where -------------
 
My family was way too poor to afford a moped but I used to work on them for other kids.

My labor fee was to borrow the moped for 1-2 weeks after the repair was done.

I got to ride a lot of them.

The one pictured was a good one, but the 2 speed Tomos "Silver Bullet" was hard to beat for performance.
 
Isn't it "the other Tony" that's top dollar plus on parts?
 
I’ve bought a few things from whitepunkonnitro, nothing seemed out of range. I got a set of nice spring perches for 30$ Few other things too. Ronnie here gives uncle Tony two thumbs up!
 
I've bought from whitepunkonnitro as well.

Don't remember stuff being pried too high.
 
The guy sold a lot of parts. He is fun and informative on his videos. @Rainy Day Auto , I hear he is planning on being at Carlisle this summer (I hope it doesn't get cancelled) and meet up with Nick from Nick's Garage. Just another reason to make the trip to Pennsylvania this summer.
 
Not to pop your bubble, but it was likely his wife Kathy (agent99 on here) that packed your carb for shipping.
When he was selling parts he told me he pulled the parts and she did the packaging and shipping.

Everything I have ever bought from them he asked me to just send what I thought the part was worth, so it's hard to agree with anyone who thought the prices were to high.

The one complaint I have about his Youtube channel is the sound sucks so bad in some of them.
 
Bought/sold parts with Tony. Few years back I drove to see Chicago Blackhawks in Nashille for my daughters Birthday.
He was willing to meet me in a hotel parking lot before the game to do parts deal..... how cool.
And he was in a 64 Dart to boot.....LOL. Great guy. Congrats to him!

I think your right. I bought several things from him , paid with paypal , money was always sent through her email address

Well, he told me that's how it worked.
I commented on his packing skills one day and he said Kathy does/did all of it.
 
I bought a couple of
little" parts from Tony. He just said send what you think is fair!! Sometimes it is hard for the guy striping pats to put a price on such. I have to call him a fair person for sure.
Not maybe every one will agree with his opinions but he is cool.
 
I bought a rim from him. He shipped fast and the price was reasonable. I'm following the Bottle Rocket build on his U-tube site. No, I won't save the package... LOL

I was always happy with parts, stand up guy

I teased him about how much dirt on the parts probably raised the shipping cost is how I found out about Kathy doing the packing and shipping.
He told me she packed and shipped parts exactly the way he gave them to her.

I bought a set of aluminized headers from them once that were impressively packaged and arrived in beautiful condition.
He said he was saving these for his own car, but would get another set when his car was ready for them.
He gave me a hell of a deal on them.

I bought a carburetor from UT and I am still trying to clean the damn cigarette ashes out of it!
Okay, I haven't actually but I am a fan, he is NYer who speaks my language!
