Default WANTED: '56 - '62 front suspension and steering

I recently bought a '57 Corvette set up for drag racing. I've already found a stock front suspension for it. Here are the other parts I need:

windshield frame assembly
'56 - '58 hard top
both front fenderwell fiberglass panels
grill assembly (oval can be cracked and teeth ugly if cheap)
all bumpers (ugly okay, but no deep rust pits, please)
parking lights
passenger door
red interior door panels
seat cushions

Thanks,

Jerry Bramlett

Send the seller your phone number via Ebay message and ask him to text / call you. I have to do this a lot to get email addresses swapped.

I did that. He hasn't called me or responded though eBay either. Maybe he's trying to tell me something...

Default Front cross member

I've got a spare front member in great condition - $200 + shipping.

I must have been doing something wrong. I sold a complete front suspension / cross member setup from a 57 a couple of years ago for $250.

Jerry,
I have a drum to drum front, with draglink, etc. also have shoreline beige seat cushions and original red door panels. Biggest issue is that I'm in Milwaukee area. I also have a 59-60 hardtop with Venetian red headliner.
Let me know if you need that stuff. I'm not home until the end of the week, so I can't get you pics right now. The front suspension is off a 57 from the west coast.

Default Thank you all.

Scott - I hope to buy your rolling chassis.

Owen - Please send me photos and prices for your seat cushions, windshield frame, and rear bumper.

Bill and Jack - I'm no longer in the market for front suspension parts, but I do appreciate your responses.

Ed - I think you did very good to get $250 for a front suspension. I've already been offered several for less. I think the market is saturated with original chassis parts right now.

Mike - Please send me photos and prices for the seat cushions and door panels. I'm trying to buy a '56 - '58 hard top for the correct stainless trim below the windows. I'm braced for shipping costs. There are no old Corvette parts for sale here in Mobile.

I concur Jerry, there is a glut of C1 chassis stuff on the market right now. Good luck on your car, and keep us posted.
