Default Window regulator for '71

hey, guys! been a while since i've posted. i guess you could say the little one is keeping me busy... 8 months now, man how they grow! anyway, hope you're all doing well.

the driver's side window (automatic) on my '71 stopped working and the shop says i need a new regulator. i've had problems ordering parts online before so instead of just going to corvette america or some other big site i thought i'd ask here if anyone has a good link or reccomendation. i used to have a parts interchange manual but damned if i can find it. i wouldn't want to spend extra dough on a "corvette window regulator" if a "chevelle window regulator" would do the same thing. catch my drift? TIA!

Have you looked to see what you need? Regulator teeth can be repaired and that could save you the cost of a complete regulator.

no i haven't, but at the same time i don't really want to start undermining my mechanic and telling them their business. i haven't the time, nor the know how to start trying to repair the regulator myself... and i trust these guys. so, they say i need a new regulator, then i assumed i would just buy a new regulator. how much do you think we're talking about here? fleabay has 'em, it looks like:

All the aftermarket providers carry the regulators. Check with Willcox, ZIP, and Corvette Central. I would think prices will be comparable to what's on ebay.
