Default C2 parts

New to hobby and i am looking for good source of correct parts suppliers for 1965/396. I have found Zip Corvettes opinions on them and any other suppliers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Zip is very good, also Paragon. Many use LICS (Long Island Corvette Supply) that sells only 1963-67 parts.

Other good names are Wilcox, Corvette Central, Keen, Volunteer Vette. But the names I mentioned first above are where most of us shop.

Welcome to the Corvette Forum. I see you're in Brentwood, I lived in Sonoma County for 36 years. Post up some pics of your 65 Coupe when you can.

I've been using Dr. Rebuild and Paragon for my 67. Dr. Rebuild seems to have the best shipping. most things are 9.95 and come USPS priority.
