As for shows, you will not see them in the foreseeable future. Knowing the guy who would drive the shows with Eckler's big red dually and trailer, he is still employed there, but now as Manager somewhere in the back of the inventory barn. We're personal friends.

The truck and rig was sold off last fall. Ecklers for some reason thinks the name will make them money. Funny thing is...just about everyone else out there who deals in Corvette parts are already less expensive then Ecklers. I don't get their marketing strategy, but then again ask the few dozens who have been layed off from Ecklers if they know about the marketing as well! Didn't work for them!
