Default Who is the best Corvette on-line catalog parts vendor?

I'm starting a C3 restore, and have bought parts from a variety ofvendors in the past; but would like to know which one is really the best to deal with.

Can anybody provide info, good or bad, about the various on-line Corvette partsvendor from their experience, and who you would recommend?

I know of Doc Rebuild, Eckler's, Zip, Corvette America, Wilcox, and a bunch of others.

Let me know who you think is the best to deal with, with regard to quality of parts, reasonable pricing, customer service, you know, the stuff you want to know about a vendor before you find out the hard way.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks,

dragos

Let me add corvette central out of michigan. Nothing but good dealings with these people. Most times they are a tad cheaper than ecklers. Ecklers does have the selection though. Bout most of my parts for my 72 from them.

Ecklers.

Zip Corvette.

Mid America Motor Works.

And don't forget Doc Rebuild, he's got all the real hard to find stuff and his products are dead nuts on.

Then there's always Summit and Jeg's for the go fast goodies.

They all charge too much but if you want it you got to pay it.
