Default Shopping in NY

Hello,

Also on the other site of the atlantic ocean there are some vette's...:yesnod:
As you maybe know the price's of parts here (Holland) or another european country are about 1.5 higher that in the states (shipping, tax etc).
Lucky for me we're going to New York for a week (with school).
So this is for me a great moment to buy some parts in the states...
But to you know a place in Manhattan where i can buy new corvette parts, something like Mid or Ecklers etc?... The only problem is that i don't have all day so i have to order the parts in advance and pick them up and pay, so ordering by mail, web or telephone is required. There are only a few thing i need like original wheaterstrip's (81) and bodymount's and a compleet suspension rubber set (sorry forgot the english word :confused: )
All for a 81er btw.

So if you know al place or a better idea i would like the hear it!
Thankx in advance! :cool: :D

Greets Peter.

Peter
There are no Vette suppliers in Manhattan, plenty of resto shops in the Metro area, but none that I know of that are on the scale of Zip, Mid-America, Ecklers, etc. Better off orderig the parts ahead of time to ship to NY & pick them up when you get into town.

When & where will you be in NYC?
