Yes, but you'll pry it from former RMC Vice Chair, Jim Lennartz, over his dead body! Enough humor.
Check the ususal places (Corvette City, Corvettes Only in Englewood) then try the Corvette Center in Colo Springs. If you're 'game', tomorrow (Sunday) is the semi-annual Coy's Swap Meet at Bandimere Speedway (6AM to 5 PM). Coy's is a Denver tire distributor who caters to the race community. Twice each year (beginning of race season/end of season) they sponsor a pretty good sized swap meet.
The usual local/national vendors show, but few bargains as they know the value of parts. What's attractive is MANY individual racers show emptying their shops of this/that. It's one of the few meets where I've found you can get genuine bargains -- factory stock parts (engine, interior, Etc.) that were removed from cars to ready them for competition.
Last year I picked up an NOS BR-270 ignition coil for $1. Hear that SB, Sharkers! Yep, there are places where you can sometimes get that bargain and factory stock gas tanks were a bona fide removal target for vintage race guys as well as things like seat belts, instrument panels, soft trim, stock radiators, carbs, intakes, manifolds, Etc....
If neither suggestion pans out, you're probably looking toward Quanta and the local sources I suggested can order for you as well as maybe shoot you an NCRS/RMC discount. Happy hunting!
