Not really a specific "Parts Wanted" thread as much as its a general inquiry for parts dealers.

Moving from Parts to General discussion area.

Hi Carlos,
Wow! A 69, 427, Convertible!!!
You must be pretty excited!
I'll list a few of the vendors that are mentioned here quite often.
It's a good idea to send off for their printed catalogues which themselves are good sources of information.
Corvette Central
ZIP Products
Paragon Corvette Reproductions
Another good vendor who doesn't have a printed catalogue but is certainly worth checking out is Willcox Corvette.
You might also consider buying the 'Assembly Instruction Manual' (AIM) and 'GM Chassis Service Manual' for your 69. There are editions for each year of production. I think you'll find them quite useful if you're going to be doing some work on your car.
Good Luck as you get to know your 69!
How about a few pictures?
Regards,
Alan

Adding Van Steel for getting rebuilt exchange parts.

I like Wilcox because they spend time here answering questions and try and make sure the part is a quality part.
