When we tried to find parts for our first Corvette-a 1969 Lemans Blue
Convertible, we became a little frustrated. Not only were a lot of the
parts unavailable, but those that were available were very expensive.
In the late 70's and early 80's, there were only a few Corvette parts
suppliers, so the competition was very relaxed. We decided then that we
would start supplying some local friends and Corvette clubs with the parts
they needed, only as a hobby. But like many hobbies, it turned into a
full-time job, and in 1983 "Rik's Corvette Shoppe" was officially
established. We hit the car show circuit every weekend, and restored Corvettes
& sold parts during the week. Because of health reasons (breathing
paint & fiberglass dust wasn't fun) we quit the restoration business
around 1990, and decided to concentrate strictly on parts sales only-and
the rest is history!
Now known
as "Rik's Corvette Parts LLC", Rik's is devoted to selling
quality parts at competitive prices. We offer Fast, Friendly Service
with shipping daily. Rik's is not some "fly-by-night"
company that is here today and gone tomorrow. We are here to stay to
help you now and in the future. We stock almost all of the parts in
our catalog or can have them drop-shipped to you direct from the manufacturer
to ensure quick delivery. We only sell first quality parts-not seconds
or blems. We only sell 63-82 Parts, and most of our sales are to customers
who actually drive their car-not necessarily every day, but for the
Corvette Owner who truly enjoys his car. We know Corvettes, and Corvette parts. When you call us during our business hours, you will be talking to someone who knows the parts, and we can assist you with your order.
There are a lot of people or so-called businesses these days, who sells parts on-line, but some don't know the difference between a 1963 shifter plate and a 1982 shifter plate. Some don't even have an address, only a PO box! We have been at the same location since 1983. We are not in "cyber-space", operating only on a web site, like some others. We are an established, reliable business.
We care and know about your Corvette,
and want to do everything we can to help you make it look great!
