I have been using Jegs and Corvette central for parts. Are there any other places I can use for comparing pricing?
By the way, I have never seen such a beautiful array of C3s as I have on this site. You (guys and gals) have done a wonderful job on your rides!

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.
You can try Ecklers and MADirect (Mid America), but I've found, as far as pricing goes, Corvette Central is usually the least expensive...when it's in stock!

I think you'll also find that most of your suppliers are getting their parts from the same distributors, so the range of pricing is not great.

My suggestion...if CC doesn't have it, for the low price, MADirect or Ecklers does, and you won't pay much more for it.

Zip Corvette has supplied everything for me so far, and I've never had a problem. Ordered the wrong part twice and they took it back no questions asked, both times open box, they're close to my home so they shipped fast and cheap(next day by truck). Good prices if I remember correctly too.
