Yeah, this one sucks..They were the largest Corvette specialty salvage yard in the country. Lyle from C&S did a YouTube video on it last month. No bueno.

What's the out come on this then?
I know there was a wrecker in PA which was bought out by Next Gen Parts Place in MA. Not sure which. And I think it was about two years ago. Sorry to add to the unknown.

Contemporary was 1) very reasonable 2) 30 minutes from my house. I was severely bummed by this news.
