Replacement door handle options

[entropy454]

I need to replace my driver's side outside door handle and have been looking around. I noticed a lot of different prices out there for the exact same item (in theory).

Ebay has them for 17$
Eckler has them for 28$ and at 70$
Corvette Central has them as a special for 40$

I know you don't want to buy the low end ones from ebay but what is the difference between the 40 and the 70$ ones?

Anyone order and use any of these and have a good or bad experience?

thanks

...what is the difference between the 40 and the 70$ ones?...

Could be the country of origin and quality of the repro. Contact customer services at Eckler's and C-Central and ask.

sometimes the more expensive ones are NOS while the cheaper ones are repro.

I believe the cheaper ones are imported repos and the $70 ones are USA repos. A GM NOS handle will run you about $175 if you can find them. Dr Rebuild has the GM handles listed.
