Yes I have not only heard of them but I have done business with Mike
( the owner ) when I was there last he had about 20 project Vettes at his place. One was a 54 Vette and other C1 cars there were about 5 1963 verts there also. He mainly had C1 and C2 cars. I fell I got a good deal on the car I bought.

Yes, I bought a 65 cpe from him. I guess I got a fair deal. Bubba owned the car I purchased at one time. He had owned the car three times. He had sold it and took it on trade backs a couple of times he said. People who paid for it and traded it for an upgrade. He has some nice cars there. He also has a number of driver/projects. He trades/sales/buys corvettes sometimes three to five a day. When I was there he dealt with two customers who traded. My impression was if I didn't buy it that there was 5 other people who were interested. Maybe I made a rush decision. I am happy with the car.
