Vette(s): My 1974 Vette sold last August 2014. I am still willing to show up to events and local gatherings if anything happening No new vette yet.
I deal with primarily Blue Sky Classics, they are corvette specialists and are the shop i got my motor rebuilt at. they got a website. 
Other locations would be : meguiars- i buy all my detailing stuff from them.
Mid-America, Corvette Central, Ecklers, CustomCorvetteAccessories (one word when looking them up online), bestcorvettevideos.com, southerncarparts.com, vettevacuum.com, volvette.com
 
just to list a few.

Would it sound self-serving if I said that Corvette Specialties was my favorite vendor?  Seriously, we do have many parts that are each carried by only one vendor, but we buy from them all.  We are locally known for our ability to find rare parts.

Not self serving at all Larry.  Ive got to admit, I was impressed with the service and follow up phone call I got last week when I ordered my steeroids package.

I third that about Griot's they make great stuffWink I use Corvette Central and Mid America for most of my vett parts. Corvrtte Central most of the time has better pricing than most of the other suppliers.

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
I have purchased a few items from different vendors. (about 11k worth) Yes I am broke but I will work for parts.Smile
 
Bairs has always been good, VanSteel is great, Wilcox works well, and MAM has gotten a few of my simolians too.
 
Maybe instead of paint this year I should just get stickers from these guys and cover her up that way.LOL




Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

I have had the most pleasant experience with Rik's, and Zip Corvette, as far as parts, and service. I've used others, too, but none have given the personal service and attention as these two.
Lectric Limited is also a great place for electrical stuff, in my experience.

Wax? Show Wax? Whut's that?
