Default 1968 rear center panel needed

Hello, I'm looking for a center part of the rear lower panel. Maybe somebody have it? I need just a center part around the license plate.

That's commonly referred to as the "exhaust panel" and is all one piece that runs across the bottom of the whole rear end, from one exhaust opening to the other. You might be able to find just that portion of the panel from another damaged one, but is it worth all the work to repair yours when a brand new one can be had for about $300?

I think it is the same work to replace full panel or smaller part. The problem is that I need to send the part to Europe so considering 300$ for piece + shipping of the huge element + taxes and custom I will pay finally 500$. That's why I prefer to check if somebody can sell smaller piece. If not I will by complete panel as requested...

Try calling some of the Corvette Salvage Parts Companies. Use Google to search for their phone numbers. Maybe they will have the part you need where the top is broken, but the bottom is ok.
