Found this thread and just was wondering if anyone has purchased from this company. Called them today and I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling, person I talked seem a bit confused.

I believe because it says plymouth, they probably mean the barracuda, which seems more likely. Still thinking about buying them but our dollar is in the crapper right now, I bought a $22 fitting from jegs last week for my ps pump, after the cost, shipping, border duties, dollar exchange and mastercard now adding a 2.5% fee for conversion, it cost me $98. I shit you not.

Ok against my better judgment I decided to send my 71 tail light housings to Narragansett Reproductions. The wire harness was all screwed up and they told me to send them and they would give me quote with a 2 to 3 week turn around. WHAT a joke after not hearing anything for almost 2 weeks I called them to find they had no idea who I was and had not received anything from me. Thankfully tracking had it delivered 12 days earlier and I was told they would look into and give me a call. After 2 days of hearing nothing I called them and went off until later that evening they called and had found them and were very sorry and would get me a quote right away. After another 2 weeks I called them and was told they would get back to me, the next day I received a quote and gave my OK and was told should be done next week. I was very understanding but after another 6 weeks of being lied too I WENT OFF on them, they somehow finished that day and when called me to pay would not take a credit card they wanted me to send a postal money order for the total. They basically held my housing hostage I was ready to wright them off and start looking for another pair. They did do a good job with the wiring ,But not worth all the BULSHIT!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!

From the website it looks like a REAL business, like I said they did a good job(not NOS) but a good job. Just be straight with people!!! There customer service sucks!!!

If I'm not mistaken, I think year one carries replacement tail light harnesses. I think I saw them in their catalog when I was looking to replace mine.
