I've been to most of the swap meets at various times, and the biggest factor is always the weather. If it's super cold, really wet or violent T-storms I find a lotsof the vendors don't bother coming as planned or simply fold up shop and leave early. If the weather looks great a few days prior I would go, but you need to dig and search for anything Corvette. I've never really found anyone Corvette specific, but found guys that are brand specific so if you find a guy with lots of GM stuff start searching, never know what he might have laying there in this heap of stuff. Knowing what you are looking for helps, as I've found some good stuff where the seller wasn't sure what it was, just knew it was GM and wants to sell it. But that is becoming the exception any more. With guys having lots of GM stuff like that I may ask after digging through their stash, as sometimes they don't bring everything and may have more stuff at home. A few times I've found OEM C2 stuff like lens, trim, *****, door handles but mostly just small stuff, sometimes find larger used parts but if you take your time and look carefully you can probably find something but probably not what you need, but there is stuff to be had.
