Beyond Mid-America, Zip, Ecklers & CorvetteCentral, what other sources of corvette parts do forum members recommend? (And excluding the typical auto parts shops such as Autozone, Pep Boys, Schucks, etc.)

I remember some folks mentioning a dealer or two that had good potential.

I'd recommend http://www.corvettepartsman.com/
This guy buys NOS from GM. I needed a AC Accumulator to Evaporator hose for my 93. I called over 50 places, (Ecklers, C.C., Mid America, Napa, Auto Zone)... No one had it.... I was about to give up, then a friend recommended this guy... Boy was I luckly, he had my hose ($37) but was a litte pricey on shipment ($14)... All in all, I'd do business again with the guy....

I'd be happy to do business with one of the forum businesses, but they don't have the part I needed...

Rockauto.com and Superior Chevrolet, KS are hands down the best parts and the best prices on replacement parts.

This thread is going to be locked.

Some time ago, I made reference to other gm parts sources, and it pissed off a forum vendor, so I got a PM and was told by forum admin that I am no longer allowed to mention this dealership.

I am not exciting by this, and expressed this to the forum admin in question.
