An FYI, Portland will be soon be losing Pacific Corvette as a parts source
For those of you in the Pacific Northwest who've been using Pacific Corvette as a convenient, local parts source, Jim Kimber will be closing the doors at the end of September. This is an FYI only, I'm not connected with the company in any way, and I hope this is appropriate for this forum category. I picked up a flyer on a recent visit indicating there will be a garage sale on Sept 20-21 from 9-3 with special pricing on new and used parts.

Too bad, it was nice to be able to run over there to get stuff. They had things that were hard to get too. Didn't they get some of their stuff from Lincoln's when they closed years ago?

If they bought all that C1 and 2 stuff from the back of Lincoln's that's going to be a heck of a garage sale.

Although I'm no longer in Portland, i did a ton of business with them when I was.
This is sad to hear.
I may have to do a road trip........

I'd expect the eBay store would be around as long as there's something to sell, but give Jim a call at (503) 239-0210 to be sure.

All the Corvette parts from Lincoln Auto Wreckers went to Pacific Corvette in Puyallup. That location was closed about 4 years ago. The parts were sold off.
Jim is a great guy to deal with and will be missed in the Portland Corvette community.
He has lots of good used parts left.
