WTB: NOS or AS NEW 1982 CE Parking Brake Cover
OK, I know this is going to be like looking for the needle in the haystack, BUT, I DID LOCATE a set of NOS wheels for my CE earlier this year to replace the originals which had slight corrosion all over the fins from sitting for so long next to the ocean!
I found this CE in NJ last year, with ONLY 3,340 original, one owner-miles on it! I have since put a little over 6,000 additional miles on it, including a 1,475 round-trip to Tulsa from Chicago, and a 2,416 mile round-trip to Estes Park, CO which INCLUDED a 1,008 mile IRON BUTT Blast straight through to Estes from Tinley Park, IL.
The interior of the car is literally PERFECT, with the exception of 4 scratches in the parking brake cover. I know I can have it re-sprayed, but then there is the issue of trying to EXACTLY match the shade, and then too the scratches are kind of deep, and would still be visible in the right light.
So, what I am looking for is preferably a NOS parking brake cover for my 1982 Corvette Collector Edition, OR, if there is a used one out there in AS NEW condition, I could go that route too.
I've contacted about 11 used parts purveyors, and NOS and repro purveyors with no luck so far.
Please help a CE owner out!
Thank You-
