Yep he's in Martinsburg, PA near Altoona. Usually has a couple of low mile entry level vettes in stock. Always has quite a few collector cars there and probably always will due to his prices.....on both high and low end cars.

Opinions differ on his cars here. Some seem to think he's less than honest with marginal vehicles. I happen to think he's pretty up front and honest. When I was shopping around for mine, I made 3 different trips to his shop and numerous phone calls. He took time to go over the low mile late C3 I was looking at bumper to bumper and even coached me on what to look for when buying a C3 vette when it was apparent he was not going make the sale(due to price).

His shop also does vette repairs for customers. Some of the newer cars he gets in and haven't been through the detail shop will reflect that in the price.

If you have the money he can provide you with a turn-key vette you can be proud of. All in all you gotta go and look at his cars and decide for yourself. Hope this helped some......

As I'm living in Belgium, this will not be so easy

I found them via ebay and just was curious if any members did already do business with them

I went and looked at a couple of his low end cars. I felt they were in worse shape than he discribed. His prices were very high. I ended up buying a car nearly identical in age/condition/mileage to one he had for $3,500 less than he was asking. He does have some very nice high end cars.

Valley Auto http://www.allcorvettes.net/ is about a half hour south. Their prices are alittle high too but seemed more willing to deal. At the time their low ends were worst than I was looking for and high ends out of my range.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the positive feedback, its hard to make everyone happy when everyone has different expectations on the cars. And i will agree prices arent as cheap as they should be but people selling the cars to us dont want to or need to deal.

Also if you local stop by my every saturday night cruise in at the Gulf Stream Cafe in martinsburg.

Thanks,
RJ Sottile
