Does anyone know if they went out of business? This is where I bought my current Vette back in 2005, but the website shows no inventory in any category. Just curious.

They have gone out of business. I bought my first one there and it was a good experience. Guess the economy got them.

That's to bad. They had a nice store with lots of quality Vette's and parts. My son worked in Austin for a while and lived close to Corvette Country. I would always stop by to admire their inventory.

I picked up my Z from there, too. From what I remember, they went out of business about 1.5 years ago.

It is sad, they went out of business at the end of last year beginning of this year. Nice guys to work with. Don in the service shop and Jerry on the sells side. Good guys!
