Hi everyone m!
so, long story short- my car had a front accident 3 months ago. The are that got hit is the passenger side front and the crush zones of the car got hit.
As part of the repair, it’s necessary to get new bumper, Hood, fenders and also frame rails and impact bar.

i already got all the parts besides 3 of them which prevent me from even starting the repair process.
The parts are:

1. IMPACT BAR - GM (23226138)
2. RAIL END - GM (84033902)
3. RAIL END - GM (84033901)

The reason I cant get them is they are on back order for the whole country by GM and I couldn’t find anyone who can provide an ETA on availability again.

Dear friends, if anyone knows someone from GM who can help with more info or even getting the parts, or maybe even get these parts used somehow I’ll be grateful!
I like outside the US so getting c crashed C7 is irrelevant for me!

I know there are more forum members who need these parts as well.
Please help!

thanks in advance!!!

There is a vendor on here that sells used Corvette parts. Can't recall their name. If I find it, I'll post it. By the way, where do you live?

Have you tried new parts vendor on here named "Cultrag" which is owned by Gene Culley?

If you are open to using used parts you could start a salvage yard search.

if OP here used call a big are good size salvage yard they get on a full US computer wide & if a salvage yard has those parts in good cond they will ship them to your salvage yard.

I am sure they are good parts you can find like this due to all the cars that was flood cars out in TX last year.. Robert

Hey guys,
as I mentioned I’m not from the US so it’s pretty hard for me to look at salvage yard.
do these salvage yards sell only parts and not a whole car?
can you please refer me to some of them ? website or something?

thanks!

It's a long shot, but maybe try this.

No part number listed for this one, but it might be an option.

Unless I'm not understanding correctly, it sounds like you are willing to ship the parts from the US, right? If that's the case go to sites like GMPartsDirect.com. I checked your part numbers there and they all appear available. There are a bunch of other ones too, just search "GM Parts." I know it would be pricey to ship them but at least you could repair the car. BTW I've been to Israel several times and I've never seen a single Vette. You must be unique there.

It’s the weekend...pretty sure parts status favor friends at GM aren’t taking calls right now.

demasterz

Hey man!
I did contact them and some many other parts dealers and i got the same answer from them that parts are on "national back order" and nobody knows when they become available again.
I do willing to ship from the US, even used but i gotta find something

We have some Vettes here but not enough to get parts easily as you guys

demasterz

I guess you're right... i'll have to try again tomorrow

red62vette

OK, that makes sense. The website doesn't indicate they are on backorder but apparently they are. In that case there is nothing you can do besides wait or buy used. We had this problem with an AC condenser for our Chevy Tahoe and had to wait 5 weeks last summer with no A/C. But that was a widespread problem and they may have had to change the design to fix the problem. I don't understand why they wouldn't have your parts. Maybe the wait won't be so long.
