I need two different things.

A good local Northern Virginia Corvette Mechanic in case I need one. Also an antenna motor. I have searched Ebay anddon't see any available,

Thanks for your time.

HDMark,five yearsago, when I took my 87 Vette conv't out of Winter storage, my antenna would not operate. I could hear the motor working(humming), but the actual antenna would not move. I searched around for a replacement, but was hard to find, even on eBay. I took a can of WD-40 and sprayed half of it down the antenna hole in the body of the car and let it sit for a few hours. Then I emptied the can down the hole and the next morning, I turned on the radio and the antenna worked perfectly; no problem since. TRy this and it may surprise you, unless the motor is actually burned out. ;)

Mid America has both the complete motor and just the replacement mast with the nylon ribbion attached.

If the motor is working, replacing the mast and nylon ribbon is easy
