Default Need help!!!........

I am leaving for Las Vegas, and while I am out there I am going to look at a Corvette junkyard.... anyway, the name and phone number for the guy is in one of my Driveline's and I can't find it. :mad

Can someone please look at the May-June Driveline for me and look in the Parts For Sale section....there is a guy (I believe his name is Gary, Crazy Gary ?? ) that has hundreds of parts listed, mainly blocks, and has a Nevada area code...702 or 775.

I know it's not a lot to go on, but I'm in a pickle...thanks for the help. :seeya

Gee, if only the NCRS had a web site or a tech board, you could have asked the question there :D

I don't have the May-June issue handy, but the July-August issue has the following ad:

Corvette parts 30+ year collection clean Nevada used parts, NOS and aftermarket 1963-82. Call Thadd (775) 753-7783. Member #18619

If this isn't the guy you're looking for, maybe you could try calling him anyway--he might know "Crazy Gary".
I don't know, David, I believe ole Topless' fellow Cajun done beat him out to Vegas, bought "Crazy Gary's" entire collection, and is now trying to sell HIS bounty through the Driveline . Thadd had probably made the purchase before ole Topless ever got his May-June issue. It's way too late now. :lol: :lol:

I wudda' helped him, but life is too short to be reading all that fine print for yourself, let alone a friend. From experience, I would say circle any ads of interest in the Driveline...if you let'em loose back in the jungle, you never find'em again.

Way too much information here guys...

A simple "Sorry I can't help you because my pantyhose are riding up on me again" would have been enough

:crazy: :lol:
