Default Where to get OEM GM Parts for 61 corvette

A friend of mine has a 1961 corvette in his shop and is looking for an oil pain for a 1961 corvette 283. He bought GM OEM pan # 3974252 and said it not the right one I looked up that number and it comes up to a 70/74 small block
I did find the OEM part # for the 61 vette as a 359937 with a trap door
does any one know where to get old OEM GM parts
I did find one on ebay BUT 2,500.00 seems a bit much

Looks like 359937 was the service pan, discontinued/superseded to the 252 pan?.
Not that they're available either but the original '61 part # appears to be 3769761 and the '62 part # 3789629...earlier #'s?

Did you see this used one on eBay @ 399 BIN?
Need repair and pics are poor but looks like the correct vertical ribs, does the inside pic show two ribs one one side?
