Third Generation USA
I recently had the opportunity to meet another one of our local, SoCal, vendors, Dave Staubli of Third Generation USA, Third Generation USA - Welcome! Some of you might know him as IROCZDAVE here on TGO, where he's authored a tech article about making a ram air box for the Camaro. Like all of us, Dave loves thirdgens and owns one himself.
In case some of you don't know, Dave's business is south of Los Angeles, closer to the San Diego area, and he offers excellent-quality, pre-owned parts, often that are even hard-to-find... interior, exterior and light mechanical. How and where he finds some of them, I have no idea. For example, one item that I see people always looking for that he consistently seems to have available is the non-A/C heater box. And he recently had an excellent stock 1LE aluminum driveshaft for sale. He's had those driveshafts many times in the past. But if one is still on his site today, then he's gotten another one since monday, because I got that one!
We're lucky here in SoCal to have so many great vendors, two of which, Lon at TDS and Tom at House of Camaro, get mentioned a lot, and deservedly so. They're both great guys to meet and work with. But I rarely see much posted about Dave and his Third Generation USA, so I wanted to offer my props! Meeting him was a great experience! And for those too far away to meet him, no worries, he ships. So I hope all of you take the time to checkout his website or contact him with questions. He's very nice to work with, and he just might have something you've been looking for!

Re: Third Generation USA
I did a quick search myself. All I find is his eBay posting of items.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/thirdgenusa?rt=nc
If none of the items listed are what you were looking for I'd send him a PM.
