I recently had the opportunity to visit Corvette Generation in Dade City, Florida, an automotive salvage yard specializing in C3 and C4 Corvettes. However, they are not a You-Pull-It operation and the boneyard is not open to the general public.
In addition to used original parts, they can sell you a project car, a restored C3 or C4, and even a few new reproductions or aftermarket parts.
Wally Dye was very kind and gave me a tour of the operation while I was there picking up a hard-to-find part for my 1976 Corvette, and this is the video of my visit.
If you need a specific factory-original part or component for your Corvette, give them a call. They will most likely have it and ship it to you. And they ship worldwide.

DISCLAIMER: Even though I like to wrench on Corvettes and most of my videos are of a how-to nature, I am not responsible nor liable should you decide to follow my musings on the subject.
The repairs and other work I do are for my own benefit and entertainment, and even though my videos may sound and appear to give technical how-to advice, that's not my intention.
Working on a vehicle is inherently dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a licensed mechanic.
