G'day, this is my first time on the boards so im sorry if you've heard all this before..

Im an australian currently looking at importing an 80' vette and was just wondering if anyone knows of a good spot to look for both cars and parts..things like body kits, interior parts, clear t-tops etc..

any help would be great, thanks.

Brent

 

Craigslist is a great place to start looking. However, it's "caveat emptor" since you can't inspect the car yourself unless you plan to fly to the US.

For interior parts:

www.ecklers.com

For performance parts

http://www.summitracing.com/

For brakes:

www.cssbinc.com/ (Corvette Stainless steel brakes)

For misc parts:

http://www.pacvette.com/ Corvette Salvage yard, nice guy owns it and he has done tons of work with vettes.

and

http://www.vbandp.com/ Vette brakes and parts. Good site with lots of harder to find parts.

 

Hey Brent
You might also try, corvetteAmerica.com, corvettecentral.com, and Riksvette.com. They will have about everything you will need to do a complete restoration. And of course you can find all the help you need right here on this forum. Everyone will guide you through the process. Good luck and G'day.

 

You might also try corvette-paragon.com.

thanks again for the referances!

 

There was another member from Austrailia, that memtioned there is a cut off year forrequiringa conversion to be done. I don't remember the exact year, but I think it was in the early to mid '70s.
Cars from before that year, didn't need to be converted, as they were concidered to be classics.

 

In my book, all sharks are classics.

Also mid-years.
