Technical Exeter Auto Supply... still in business?

Discussion in 'Traditional Hot Rods' started by Glen E MacDonald, Feb 22, 2018.

  1. Exeter Auto Supply in Exeter, CA is supposedly (according to their website) a HAMB Alliance vendor. I placed an online order back in early January for an Offenhauser oil filter bracket adapter (for a flathead Ford V8) and haven't heard anyhting from them since. I've called their phone line several times and it just rings off the hook (if anyone remembers what that means).

    Is this outfit still a going concern or did I just get rooked? Anybody know?

    A bump for today. These guys are one of the few Offy sources, I hope they are still open for business.

    Dan sold it about three years ago, and I don't know the new owners. I drive to Fresno every week
    so I'll roll by on my way home, and take a look for you.

    Dan Marvin was the owner of Exeter Auto. He sold that business but retained the Offy side of it.

    Went by the store in Exeter today, it is vacant, best bet is to get ahold of Dan on the H.A.M.B. like

  9. I bought some Offy valve covers for my 347 Pontiac and a diff cover from Dan and he shipped to the UK no problem. Haven't seen him on here for a long time though
