Default Used vette parts?

Hey guys...

I remember hearing about a fella by the name of Gary... that sells used vette parts. I dont remember his last name, was on the strange side...

Any one know who I'm talking about? He has/had a website, a wife struggling with some sort of disease...

Gary Gruhala is a class act.
If he does not have what you need he will tell you who does even if he does not make a sale. I have dealt with him and he is a real gentleman and great to do business with.
Vendors like him deserve our business because of his commitment to the Corvette hobby.
