I know this is a parts query...

[jdeatsch]

BUT,

I need to know if anyone knows who might have, sell, give away, throw at me:

The door that covers the ash tray/cigarette lighter. It's black, it's got a tear in the vinyl and I'd like to replace it.

Gene doesn't list 'em so I'm stuck.

Any help, as you might imagine, is truly appreciated. hnoes

Have you tried the Corvette salvage places? Vette2Vette or Corvette Recycling? They might have what you need.

You might check e-Bay!

 

[jdeatsch]

Yep, done the usual suspects guys, thanks.

I'll keep looking.

I've used this company for many years and they have always had what I needed. Contemporary Covette at 215-788-8693 They ship anything anywhere. Ask for 'Rocky'

Killain,

Many thanks for the tip. I'll give 'em a shot as I've not had any luck so far.

As an aside,

Gene at gmpartshouse.com is just amazing.

He got me some other pieces and shipped 'em VERY quick.

Gene is the bee's knees and that's a fact.

Let me know if it doesn't pan out, Jim. I've heard talk of a Corvette salvage place north of the coast here. I'll try to find the reference to him and give him a call next week if needed. ... If I can find it.

You're too good to me Jane Ann.

I've not heard back from the latest place yet.

sigh.

 

[jdeatsch]

Jane Ann,

Would that be Dino's? I just sent them a message via their website. We'll see.

Thanks,

J

I'm not even sure of the name. Can you provide a link?
I just remember hearing about a Corvette salvage place around Picayune or Poplarville MS that the local Vette club visits every so often during cruises.

When I have more time, I'll check it.... unfortunately I'm working all w/e and I'm about to be late if I don't get off this computer and get going. :L

 

[jdeatsch]

Yep Jane Ann, they are Used Corvette Parts, Corvette Salvage sells top quality used and new Corvette parts at fair prices. and are in Picayune so that must have been the one.

Thank you kindly Maam.

Figures, now I cannot edit. Interesting link that it switched to.

I think that's the one.

Did you find the ashtray lid you were looking for, Jim?

BTW... your link works fine. If you include a web address in your posts, the software provides a description of the site connected to the address automatically. Like this one:

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/index.php

shows as this:

Oh, duh. Learn something new every day.

I found my ash tray, my cigarette lighter, both new from Gene at GMPartsHouse.com He ships instantly and is a great guy to deal with.

I'm still hunting for the door that covers the hole the ashtray and lighter go into though.

All you have to do is contact any of the guys who fabricate double-din bazels. They have ashtray doors just laying around waiting for the garbage man. Someone would probably give you one for free.

 

[jdeatsch]

AJ,

You'd be the man, once again. I never thought of that.

Thank you kindly Sir.

Jim

 

[Toms007]

Jim has found the part he needed, thanks AJ for the suggestion.

 

[Junkman2008]

Glad I could help.
