Default Used Parts?

Where do you guys buy discontinued or hard to find parts? Is there any corvette junk yards? One part that is giving me a hard time to find is the passenger left seat hinge on my 82. this hinge has a special mechanism in it that does not work. another part that i cant seem to find is the cruise control cable. any info would be great.

I get stuff from Art's Corvette Parts...they're located in Ft Laud along Sunrise Blvd & US1 (Federal), so not TOO far from you. Their web is: www.artscorvetteparts.com Mike and Kenny are co-owners and have quite a good amount of inventory..I believe the Ph# is 954-763-1123 (check web)

I also have these bookmarked, but haven't used since Art's has always pulled thru: Corvette Specilist www.corvette-specialist.com , Dino's www.corvettesalvage.com , Part's for Vettes www.partsforvettes.com

You can mention my name (but they might charge you more :smash: )

Good Luck,

Donovan
