I don't really think so anymore since everything is online.
I have some old JC Whitney, Bugpack and West Coast Metric catalogs from the 90's that I keep for nostalgia. _________________ Volkswagen!

I also still have my old Rocky Mountain Motorworks catalog; I liked dealing with them, and they used real part numbers. Once they were acquired by Mid-America, I never dealt with those guys. _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each. The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab. All manual transmission except for the Yukon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335294 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335297 |

I just got a new West Coast Metric paper catalog free with my order. You can also get one from Sewfine. That one came hand addressed.  _________________ - 1973 Thing, 1970 Ghia, some LandCruisers and an old Ambulance |

I’ve seen Empi from the recent past so maybe they still put it out. But no pricing and if you’re limiting yourself to only buying from printed catalogs then you are severely limiting your ability to get quality parts. But if it’s just to dream then ok I get it. _________________ Looking for anything from Hal Casey Motors out of Hamburg New York, from license plate surrounds to matchbooks.

You may be able to find one from Pacific Parts International, but I’m not certain if that’s only for dealers. I have often joked that when I get married that their catalog is what I’ll swear on rather than the bible. _________________ (o\_!_/o) |
