Meet Buyers and Sellers

Honest Help is the Name of the game

40 years ago, customers brought me their Corvettes for service and repair. I got a reputation back then as a person with INTEGRITY and had fun helping these new friends enjoy their car. Over time, people asked me to help them find a car, or help sell their car. “VETTEFINDERJIM” was created during this era. I am not a dealer or broker, ..just a fun guy enjoying the cars......the people ......and the stories. NOTE the comments on each photo below.

I was very lucky to be included in the first group of the 2010 BLOOMINGTON GOLD GREAT HALL INDUCTEES.
