I needed a rear tag lamp harness for my son's 2013 GMS Sierra pickup. The harness was completely gone after the previous owner put on a lift kit and funky bumpers.

I checked the online inventory at the local LKQ, and they had a truck that should have the part I needed.

I picked up my buddy Mike, since he was bored and looking for something to do, and off we went.

We wandered around the yard for a while and came across a beat up 86 Corvette coupe. Silver with a black interior. Nothing special, but I thought I would check it out.

I opened the door and underneath a pile of C4 interior parts I saw something that was bright blue. I started digging into the pile.

I came out with a set of bright blue vinvl seal covers (tops and bottoms) and a bright blue console for a 1968 Corvette. These parts were new, and still in the wrapping.

Of course I grabbed them. Then as we went to get the truck part I was actually after, I wondered what the yard would charge me for the seat covers and console.

$10 bought all of the new 68 parts, another $5 bought the tag light harness.

Anybody need a set of seat covers and console in bright blue for a 1968 Corvette.

No, this is not an ad for sale, but I will be posting one soon.

Sometimes you just get lucky.

 

Nice find....I love going to the local pull-a-part.

Awesome!!!! I have a bright blue interior....but I have C5 seats in it. No sense taking these from someone that would use them. Soooooo, mr. Lucky How many lottery tickets did you buy af in er this pot of gold finding!!!!????

 

You scored big! Congrats.

 

I can use a set of bright blue seat covers for my 68 Corvette vert I am working on (978 Intern Blue/414 blue interior). If you decide to sell, shoot me a PM. I assume the interior parts are in good shape for a driver. Cool story, never know until you go look, ha!

 

The parts are now listed in the For Section for C3 parts
