Corvette Salvage yard in Ohio?
 

My buddy just bought a project 1969 BB.

Anyone know of some Corvette salvage yards in Ohio or nearby areas?

Thanks in advance.

No--JT Piper went and bought them all !!!

MARKSC4; I have gotten several items both new and used from "Contemporary Corvette": a salvage yard in Bristol Penn. Had real good luck with them. :thumbs: Don't know how close that is to you

there are a couple in michigan.indiana corvette [by decatur IN] also has some used parts .

Michigan Corvette Recyclers in Riga, MI. Its kind of between Detroit and Toledo. Been there once...Its like a Corvette grave yard. I believe they had a website..... michigancorvette.com doesn't seem to work anymore, so I'm not sure if they're still out there. Its been a few years since I've seen it.

They are gone C+S out of Flordia bought them out. Sarastoa I think.I was their the last week they were open but only picked up a few bargains. Must have closed for good about a month ago. Their is a couple yards near Cleveland OH.

What does he need? I have a ton of '69 stuff.

Tell your friend if hes going to completely restore his vette, he needs 'The Corvette Restoration Resource' and 'Vintage Parts Sources/Corvette Edition' guide books published by Vintage Parts 411 formerly called Motorhead Matchmaker 1-800-motorhead . They list all the best places for getting old parts for vettes in addition to services. Without these books, i would have been lost in my 1970 frameup restoration.

this is a great place, I've been there, but probably limited use for the original poster as they will have very few parts for his '69.
They basically have no chrome bumper cars. Their cars are pretty much all from '74 and up - from '73 and older forget it.

Unless there is a part from a mid - to late C3 that he can use on his '69 he isn't going to have much luck here.

Great Info ! - Thanks to all :seeya

Looks high priced on a lot of things.

They have over 500 Corvettes in their yard. They sell tons of parts all over the world.

They don't look that bad to me, actually. Some of the stuff is a bit high, but that's mainly due to the rarity.
