For the last 35+ years of restoring Corvettes, I always tried to locate OEM or I used Ecklers for interior parts(color match was always spot on). Also they have a very good return policy.

Al Knoch
If you have OE dash parts, no matter how bad they are, Al K. Can restore them to the right color, texture and stitching. Those reconditioned parts will fit better than any aftermarket pieces and still save you money. Just send them what you have and they will give you a price before they start.
I just sold a whole box of cores from 68 to 72 and got a decent price. They repair broken interior trim too.
Their interior dyes are right on the money too

Hi guys, just reading a few comments. I'm restoring my 82 Collector Edition, i can't seem to locate the correct rear hatch weatherstripping. I order from Ecklers and it ended up not being correct. 1/4 gap around the top.
