Oh no. No intentions of selling the C8. I am in the process of purchasing a "stablemate" for my C8, a 1973 coupe & am already planning a number of mods & updates...

For restoration parts and accessories I really like CC, but there is also Zip, Mid America Motorworks, Top Flight Automotive, Ecklers, Volunteer Vette Products.
A day at Corvettes at Carlisle in August is a great place to find stuff.
Good luck with your '73.

Per a quick Google search:

Legendary Companies Acquires Zip Products

Together with Coker Tire, Paragon Corvette and Corvette Central, the acquisition of Zip represents the fourth family-owned business to be added to Legendary Companies' portfolio of brands since partnering with Irving Place Capital in 2018.
Nothing seems to have changed at Zip. Still the same people working there, still doing business the same way.

I've ordered from there. They sent a mis-labeled part and it was a bit of a hassle to get it returned and refund but they did eventually get it done.
They would not be my first choice.
