1958 Corvette- where buy original parts for best NCRS grading?

[Wayne L.]

Hello,

I have a 1956 (and a 1958) Corvette, Where is the best place to buy Original parts (such as brakes) so as to work towards getting the best NCRS judgment score on my vettes?

IE, where are the most common places (or sites) for shopping original corvette parts that most people use?

Thanks

Corvette Central and Paragon seem to be the most popular. I think they have a start to finish program that gives you a discount.

May I suggest if you haven't already done so, purchase the Judging Guides for your Corvettes so you don't waste money on things that are not judged.

I've hunted for years and had good success on e-Bay except for those rare parts made out of "unobtainium". As far as quality reproduction parts that will do well in judging, I'd vote for Corvette Central. They tool and produce a number of parts themselves. Paragon is good too. But before you start buying, I'd second Terry's advice and buy a Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide (TIMJ) from NCRS so that you know what is original and what is not.

Meant to add that the Driveline is a good source for NOS and NORS stock
