Default Florida guys-

I was down in St. Petersburg (fantastic place) last week for the Indycar race and happened to go up to Tampa a few times and drive around. I ran across a Corvette shop on Dale Mabray Drive called, Corvette Shop and Supplies. I thought it was a pretty awesome place with a lot of Corvettes- old and new for sale. And they also do repair work. Any of you guys ever been there? I stopped and asked to take some pictures and the people were pretty nice to me, so I clicked off a few.

I usually stop by there when I'm on that side of town. I've bought a few parts there over the past 4 decades.

Just up the road form me, a fun place to look around. I haven't seen or heard anything about their repair work. There are lots of used parts and cars, usually not many C3s in stock though. Parts are a little expensive ($950 for well worn C5 seats without motors) but rent is high I'm guessing...

They are a couple of miles from the airport and they are downtown. Their address is 609 North Dale Mabry Highway. They have a website: www.CORVETTESHOPONLINE.COM
