NOS C3 Corvette Parts Meet the Standard of “The Original Look”

c corvette parts

Are all of the C3 Corvette parts you’re coming across online lower quality than you would prefer for your Corvette? Does it seem like they have an amount of wear and tear that would make you question their quality (at best?) For many of us, the “C3 Corvette” may sound like the least “classic” of the classic Corvettes, as they aren’t as old as the C1 or C2. But, the 70s and the 80s were a long time ago. For many, these Corvettes (and by extension, their parts) have been on the road for decades. That’s just one of the reasons that so many have found our NOS parts can help C3 Corvette owners. 

NOS parts may have never been opened or available before, but we’re always bringing in “new” NOS parts here at CS of MD West. These are just some of the most recent NOS parts for C3 Corvettes we’ve acquired and are offering for sale. By the time you read this, the odds are good that we’ll have brought in many more. 

For When You’re “Really Looking for the Original Look” 

That’s the word we use to describe our 1970 -1972 Corvette NOS Right Front Side Marker Lamp, but, really, this is what could describe any NOS part. Nothing defines “the original look” quite like a NOS, as these are, quite literally, the original parts. That certainly comes through with this right front side marker lamp. 

For starters, this lamp is in excellent condition. It’s still in the original GM box. Over the decades since it was made, it’s been in the box, yes, but it’s been well taken care of in there. Opening the box is like opening a door back to the years of 1970-1972. On the subject of how this part was made, it was made with the original tooling and molds, just as they all were. 

As with all of our other parts, be they NOS, reproduction, restoration, and so forth, we always make sure that they meet our high standards before we offer them for sale. If we would put them in our own Corvettes, then we know they’re good to go. 

NOS Parts With the Details That Count 

Of the many reasons that classic Corvette owners opt for NOS parts, one that we hear the most often, in one form or another, is “they get all of the little details right.” Sure, here at CS of MD West, we offer plenty of reproduction parts that, indeed, get every detail right so as to be just like the originals. But, unfortunately, not all of the parts that you’ll find online were constructed with that rigorous attention to detail.

A good example of what makes NOS parts so appealing: the NOS 1970-1972 Left Front Side Marker Lamp that we’re currently offering. As with so many of our other NOS parts, it’s brand new, still in its original GM part box, never installed – all that you would expect from an NOS part. Yes, it comes with all that it should: the two post mounts in the rear, the lens opening, etc. 

It also has the amber-colored lens, the Chevrolet logo, and the markings that read: “SAE API 70 LF.” Those may seem like minor details, yes. However, they can make all the difference in the world to a true Corvette enthusiast, an owner who wants their Corvette to be something more. If that’s you, then we have plenty of parts and services to help. 

Specific NOS C3 Corvette Parts 

Here at CS of MD West, we do everything we can to offer as many classic Corvette parts to as many classic Corvette owners as possible. That means offering a wide range of parts that fit many different kinds of Corvettes. However, it also means offering those parts that are only going to fit a few Corvette owners, a few kinds of Corvettes. By having this specificity in our parts, we’re able to provide some Corvette owners with exactly what they need. 

Case in point: the NOS 1968 Corvette Backup Lens 5959873 Pair on our site. These were only used for one year. 1968. So, they won’t be right for any other year, any other Corvette. But, they could be exactly what you’re looking for. 

Classic Parts (and More) for Classic Corvettes 

If this blog hasn’t touched on the Corvette parts that are exactly what you’re looking for, that does not mean they’re available from CS of MD West. Far from it. Indeed, we’re always getting in new parts, be they NOS, reproduction, and more. To see everything that we have to offer right now, head to our site. That said, you can also give us a call too and we’ll see if there’s some way we can help you out.
