Default Help needed locating parts.

I need the RT. and LT. fresh air intakes on a non A/C car. They are glued to the firewall and are from a 1972. I am not sure if other years fit.

I'll check tomorrow and see if we still have some of these. We cut up a bunch of old cars years ago... But the remains were thrown away about a year ago. I'm not sure if we remvoed these before we tossed out the shell's.

And yes... All cars without AC 1968-1976 used this part.

Hi SS,
If Wilcox can't help you out perhaps you could contact Paragon Vintage. Their catalogue indicates they have some body shells stored, and may have what you need. 800-882-4688
Regards,
Alan

Hi Scott,

No good! We don't have a shell left to cut them out of. You might try one of the supporting vendors to the left that deals in used parts. If no luck, try Paragon or Contemporary Corvette. Contemporaty has a ton of scrap cars and I've used them myself in the past.
