I'd love the chance to spend $250 for a perfect already painted fender.

eBay always has fenders listed.
I would think Marc at Vettenuts would have one, maybe even in your color. Couldn't hurt to give him a call.

I saw that. But I don't think he's decided yet what he will for sure be doing with it.

I didn't see one on vettenuts.net web-sight but that doesn't mean he doesn't have one.

Called Vette Nuts. Marc was very helpful and very honest with me. Because of my location and the extreme shipping cost buying a good used fender from him puts me within 30-50 bucks of just buying a brand new GM fender from the dealership. And since he doesn't have any black ones at the moment I would still have to have it painted prior to install. Thus I would save precious little money. His advice in my case is to just go get a new one.

New is new. I guess good salvage is scarce right now.

You know Marc will probably get 10 of them and 7 will be black the week after I buy a new one.

It doesn't matter what you buy, you will always see a better deal later.
I built my car from salvage and have been buying a lot of parts over the last two years. I run into this all the time.

The new fenders will always be there and your car is still drivable.

That's a find. That car looks almost too nice to part out.

Thats a fiberglass repro if i have ever seen one. Not OEM.

Well it does have oem marks on the back side so i guess it is but has had holes drilled and repaired. I can get new in the box GM fenders for $315 shipped to my door.
