I found a good used one on eBay for my 77 and it was the right color. Since I've never bought a new one I can't comment on the dash pads that the vendors sell. I looked for a used one because I'd rather buy original parts if I can get them.

IMO, the BEST place to get one would be at a Corvette parts swap meet where you could look over the collection of 'original' RH dash pads and select one that was in good shape. Then clean it and recolor it to your interior color.
I've heard/read too many stories about the questionable fit of most aftermarket interior panels and have some of my own. Give me the real thing and I will match it with other factory parts.

Right Side Dash Pad
I understand about buying original. I have bought allot of new parts to change my interior from red to black and have found that some parts do not fit well, such as the door panels. I have also learned that the headlight actuators fail after a few months... I will look for a used dash pad in good condition. Thanks
