Default Corvette Conspiracy in Cleveland

I was in Cleveland last week on a mission trip with some guys from church doing some repairs on a church in inner city Cleveland. This was in Slavic village. Blocks and blocks of abondoned buildings. Very depressed area, with many problems. Imagine my surprise when we arrived the first day, and next door was a Corvette shop with some of the nicest Vettes I've ever seen. I saw more fuel injection units in one building than I've seen in all of my life. Talked with the owner, named John, said he's been there over thirty years. Anybody ever had work done by Corvette Conspiracy in Cleveland?

Hi,
I found their web site and it shows some nice cars.
They appear to lean toward rest-o-mod cars.
The site doesn't look like it's been up-dated since about 2010-11.
Regards,
Alan

Corvette Conspiracy has been very well respected for many years in the Cleveland area.
I think that I had them change my broken differential cover many years ago. Lou.

Glad you made it back to SC without getting shot

(Never had any work done, but have been aware of them for some time.)


Edit - I've met the owner of the yellow 71 in the C3 gallery photos. Very nice car and sounds great with the 540.

Me too! This small town southern boy was a little out of his element. I think the people in that community protect that church, because it has been a boost for them. It really is the only good thing they have right now. The businesses there in Cleveland are really helping with high volume food donations. People were coming by everyday for food distribution.

I worked in maintenance at the original MTD ( Modern Tool & Die company ) West 130th street, Parma plant for 34 years, until it was closed in 2007. I moved to Myrtle Beach,SC in March 2008.
We made the 1960-1982 Corvette radiator supports and other automotive and Corvette parts. Especially for the C-4.
The area that I had my rear end cover replaced was off of chain craft road. Did Corvette Conspiracy use to be in that location? Lou.

We had so much manufacturing going on in Cleveland, good paying jobs and now it is all gone. Our plant was one of the last to go. The USA makes burgers and babies now. Lou.

I'm not sure. The owner said he had been there on Broadway for more than thirty years.

I guess that it wasn't them then. Never heard anything bad about them. Lou.

I knew that was coming! I can replace a heater core, and rebuild an entire suspension, but can't post pics. Makes no sense. I'll work on it, actually have some great ones.
