Chevy Corvette Parts: Used Car And Performance Parts

For Chevrolet Corvette drivers, a myriad of options are out there to buy Corvette parts. In addition to performance parts like exhausts and clutch kits, Corvette parts dealers offer audio components and exterior accessories to accentuate the look of Chevy's famed sports car. It doesn't matter if the model's year is 1957 or 2007, new and used parts are available for any Chevrolet Corvette.

Eckler's is an online dealer that exclusively sells Corvette parts. In the suspension category, Eckler's sells strut rods, body mounts, springs and sway bars, among other parts. Corvette parts at this dealer run the gamut from small nuts-and-bolts parts like sway bar brackets and arm brushings ($4.50 to $5.99) to body cushion kits and bigger components. Wheel bearings go for $99.99, and the steering columns for 1963-1966 Chevrolet Corvettes are discounted now at $530.99. The priciest item on the Eckler's website is a Steeroids suspension kit, updating that 1963-66 Chevy's original system with a rack and pinion system. The kit includes all black-coated steel and anodized aluminum components, barring the power steering pump which should be purchased separately if the owner of the Chevrolet Corvette doesn't have it already.

Moving outside the suspension area, the Chevy's owner may want to give it an amplified, muscular sound to match the Chevrolet Corvette's sporty look. Davies Corvette Parts and Accessories has mufflers, manifolds, catalytic converters, and the pipes to top it off. Selling exhaust components for Chevys made in the mid 80s and earlier (and systems fitting models no later than 1990), Davies not only has interior accessories and fundamental engine parts, but electrical cables, switches, and gauges. A fuel gauge for 1965 to 1967 Chevrolet Corvettes costs $79.95, and the corresponding sending unit fit for models from 1956 to 1978 sells for $19.95. The same Corvette parts for later models are perhaps surprisingly more expensive in some places; a sending unit for 1997 to 2004 Corvettes sells for $44.95 on the Davies Corvette Parts website.

Performance parts for Chevrolet Corvettes often get their own category. Performance parts include turbo kits, superchargers, and engine blocks. To get that extra edge when flying down the highway in their Chevy, drivers have to invest in these augmentations, and it's not a cheap investment. Nitrous oxide bottles for the C5 (1997 to 2004) and C6 (2005 to 2007) Chevrolet Corvettes are available in 10 and 15 pound quantities for $219 on CorvetteGarage.com.

If money is an issue, buying used car parts for the car isn't out of the question. Eckler's also has a selection of used car parts, but they require customers to fill out a request form with their name, address, and year and color of the Corvette.

The popularity of the Chevrolet Corvette is evident in the wide array of dealers specializing in selling Corvette parts. Sites like Corvette Garage and CorvetteParts.com mean business when it comes to improving or maintaining a classic car, no matter the year. And no matter the size of the area, specialty websites sell Corvette parts to meet every Chevy customer's needs.
