Contemporary Corvette

This entry concerns Corvette salvage yards. I am wondering just how many Corvette exclusive salvage yards exist in the country. I live in close proximity to one of the more re-known ones, that being, Contemporary Corvette in Bristol, PA. The owner, Ron DeSchmidtt, is a life long Corvette enthusiast and runs what I feel is one of the most reputable, fair priced operations in the automotive industry. I have walked the grounds there and can tell you first hand that I understand Ron when he calls the yard his ‘field of broken dreams’. Indeed, when you look at some of the conditions some of these Corvettes are in you almost have to wonder about the circumstances behind the wreck, how did the driver fair. Certainly the car is a total and there had to be a few fatalities involved in some of these. That’s enough of the bad thoughts and I mention this because the human factor has to be considered. On the point of used Corvette parts, there is no finer (in my opinion) vendor on the planet and I want to post their phone number here 1-800-FOR-VETT (1800-367-8388) and if you call, you may very well speak to Ron (the owner) or Rocky. But, whoever answers the phone will be able to help you out. They deal in Contemporary Corvettes, those being 1968-current year (2010). Give them a call and see what they can do for you.
