Well, that place IS just around the corner from me. It's part of "Just Corvettes" here near St. Louis. I pass by when I drive to and from work. Don't hold your breath waiting for a catalog. They've been promising "two weeks" for the past two years.

Hey Neo - Gary Gruhala is in the St. Louis area. Have you ever been to his place? He has a website as well -
http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/GruhalaEnterprises

Super nice guy and very reasonable. Never bought an entire car from him but lots of parts.

The words "Corvette" and "Junk" should never be used together :nono:

Sad to see, but it helps us who restore and refurbish. Name should be "Corvette Restoration Yard".

Looks like a great place for a picnick...take a basket of food and leave with a basket of parts! :eek:

There needs to be one of those in every neighborhood! I'm gonna contact my congressperson.

I have been to Just Corvettes/Corvette Junkyard looking for some parts for my c3. But I found the parts to be less than useable and the price was far more than the part was worth in its current condition. They did have a large c4 collection of parts, more so than the c3's. Also the pictures they show of a feild of vettes doesn't exist, or at least its no where nere where the home base is at. Everything is in bins in a warehouse which is part of there new building. And forget a catalog, they don't even know what they have you just have to go and look through poorly marked bin after bin. I was sorely dissappointed after my trip out there.
