When you drive a classic car you will have to maintain it properly so that it runs well. When your car suffers a break down or when a fault has developed you will need to get the problem fixed and you may have to buy and fit spares. When you are trying to find and purchase C3 Corvette Parts there are a number of suppliers to choose from.

The C3 model was manufactured by general motors from 1968 to 1982 and many vehicles were sold. When you need to purchase new parts and fit them to a vehicle it is very important that you buy and fit the correct ones. Genuine spares should be used if possible to maintain the value of the car and to keep it original. In some cases you may not be able to find factory spares and there may be alternatives that you can use.

There is a range of spares that can be purchased from suppliers including used and brand new components. Motors, engine blocks and transmissions are sold as well as body parts, rims and complete interiors. Companies are also able to supply electrical components and wiring looms, glass and trim along with components to repair braking and suspension systems.

There are various places where you can buy new and used Corvette spares and it is worth looking at all options. Main Chevrolet dealers are a good place to buy from and you can try local mechanics shops. A large number of suppliers will also place adverts for spares in newspapers and in motoring magazines.

The web is also a good place to find a spares supplier and their web sites contain some detailed information for you to read. The companies will list the stock on the web pages with a photograph, price and description. When you plan to order your spares from a web based firm you will also have to pay the shipping costs to get the spares delivered.

When you are searching for used and recycled spares you can buy these from scrap car dealers and junk yards. A lot of cars that can no longer be driven on the road will be stripped down and any undamaged parts can be sold and fitted to another car. Buying and fitting used spares is a very affordable way to keep your classic C3 running.

If you own a very early car it may sometimes be difficult to locate spares due to the age of the model. It may be worth contacting one of the C3 enthusiast clubs where members will have spares that they may offer for sale. Online auction sites are also worth checking out and you can often find spares listed and waiting for bids.

When you have paid for your spares it is advisable to hang on to the payment receipt in case it is needed in the future. Some used spares that have been refurbished will be covered with a time based warranty and brand new components will be guaranteed by the manufacturer. Always use the services of a qualified engineer to fit your spares unless you have the tools and skills to do the job in your home workshop.
