I use to order lots from them. As best I know it they went of business some time ago.

No, I think they have been OOB for awhile now - they were having unfortunate problems with deliveries and a multitude of other problems, I ordered from them in the past and had only one bad experience which they made good on.
FWIW

Default Jeeze who wouda thunk that

In my limited exposure to the two principals over two decades they have been associated with the following Corvette business entities that have all folded or gone belly up bankrupt.

R&J Corvette Parts Dublin, CA
TMCS West Burbank, CA
LA Corvette Parts Burbank, CA
R&J Corvette Parts Anaheim, CA
OC Vette Anaheim, CA

What do want to bet upon another reincarnation? Eric at Coast Corvette told me that in California, you must “wait” 5 or 7 years before declaring “another” bankruptcy.

There are a couple of good Corvette shops in the LA basin with a steady history of satisfied customers that have stood the test of time. Tell them the Doc sent you. Try these:

J& D Corvette in Bellflower, CA
Coast Corvette in Anaheim, CA

The other Corvette Historian
Geoffrey Coenen
NCRS #2473
NCM Lifetime #105
Vettehead #18-1
Precision Valley Corvette Museum Charter Member #20 (I think)
Retired #1 56, 63, 67, 68, 68, 69, 75, 99 and I want more!

PS I looking for a nice finished real 66 convertible 427 AC & side pipes, prefer 3X Black. No junk

I believe it is 7 years, and I too have heard good things about both of the shops mentioned although I have no person experience with either, just heresay.

I ran into Rod several months ago at the International Auto Show in Anahiem. Everyone who worked at OCC were good people. He said that he had sold his inventory to Gerry who worked there. Gerry opened another shop in Orange county, I think in Placentia, but I cant remember the name off hand. He was in a club like "Corvette Super Sports" or something. He may be still doing parts. I'll try to find out.
