They don't respond to e-mails anymore, either. Service seems to have gone to the dogs.

.. out of general interest also.. very shortly.. and I'm trying to recall but from memory it starts July 2, GM is instigating the www.gmrestorationparts.com web site.. turning it into a virtual new parts / resto parts store.. which .. for you guy .. SHOULD BE ONE HELL of alot of one-stop-shop help for the latest and full round up of GMRP .. that are not counterfiet etc.. We are preparing about 100 of our parts for it, only ONE corvette specific part.. but it contains thousands of parts from what I'm being told... The Corvette restoration parts like the other GM branded stuff.. will be listed, cross searchable by year, model, description etc. all parts that are now licensed by GM under the GM Restoration Parts program.
Its going to be open to the public.. what is now primarily dealer sourced internal access.
Its operated in the background by Helm Inc - the same people who publish the manuals for GM & FORD..
Figure for some that might be of help ..as they are sure to be more up to date then most of the "catalogue" parts sellers. I know from our experience.. it can take a full year for a new part to appear in the US paper catalogs.. as most are only printed annually.. if that.. and thats after the average 6 months it takes to get thru the US GM legals for the production & after successfull actual production of the parts.. etc.. It can take SO long.. but this might help bring parts out in the open ALOT quicker.
