Sadly, Gomer died way too early with multiple substance abuse problems. He truly was a one of a kind!....Bill S

I was just joking Bill, but you probably already knew that. Sorry to hear that he had substance abuse problems....

----When I lived on the Cape I used to sell Tony Corvette parts. He was one of the most fastidious collectors I've ever known. I was delivering some stuff one time and he was in the back of his station with a brand new 75 or 76 Corvette up on the lift. he was taking it all apart to bring it up to his standards. The car only had about 10 or so miles and he was virtually restoring it.....Bill S

I remember Gomer! Wow, blast from the past.

Your friend Skeeter, or Cooter? who found the car said that the original owner drove it home from the dealership and parked it in his garage to race prep it and he only got as far as removing the smog system, but it was still present sitting on a shelf in the garage. I believe there was a low miles Biscayne in the garage as well.
