Hi, Wondering about member opinions of the best source for purchasing parts for 1977 . What is the best company, corvette america, corvette central, midamerica, ecklers"s. See many parts at exactly same price and imagine they buy from same place. Just wondering which is the best to deal with overall. Thanks

Any of them are good -- as stated earlier, go for the sales and lower shipping costs.
they all are about the same, if I need something quicker I buy it from an online store closer to me, and look for free shipping etc.

I have found that different venders have better parts in different areas. I just finished rebuilding every part on my 72. ( notice I didnt say restoring as many things are not stock or factory). When I say rebuilding I mean everything has been replaced. During this time I found a lot of the items come from the same manufacturer depending on what your buying. for instance molded interior comes mostly from Corvette America no matter where you purchase it. If you have any questions on certain parts I can tell you where I got mine and if I am happy with them.
Best of luck

And often at a cheaper price than Corvette America. Not knocking CA, I have pirchased several times from them. The deal is "comparison shoppig".

I have a list of 6-7 vendors in order by favorites, starting with our Sponsors.
If you can't find parts from one vendor, search the others.
Happy parts hunting !

At one time or another I have purchased from most of the major suppliers, but I give preference to our sponsoring vendors. Now I first contact a local supplier, who used to be a sponsoring vendor. The club discount makes the 45 minute drive worth it.
