Glad to hear you are doing well. My daughter goes to college in Tennessee, and one of her teammates is from Franklin, maybe I will have to drive the ZR-1 down there to visit.

Another nod for Haibeck. I drove from Minneapolis to him. I thought I was crazy for doing it, but as I was pulling in, a fella from North Carolina was pulling out with his 91. My car was running hot and the oil temperature would read dangerously high, my clutch was bad and there were a few other little things I didn't even realize. He had it done in a few days and it's totally problem free.

You wouldn't suspect anything of it, given it's location, but when you walk in and see 6 zr1s in various states of repair from various states of the union....you realize you're in good hands.

What everyone mentions about him is the knowledge and quality of work. No one seems to mention how reasonable he is for pricing. In the Midwest, no one is better.

The guy I purchased my ZR-1 from shipped it all the way from Southern California to Haibeck to have him work on it. Cost him about $1,000 each way for shipping. So people from all over the US ship to Mark for his quality work.

I heard my favorite Marc story one day several years ago when I spotted a crated engine in his shop. Turns out that there were three ZR-1s in Barcelona, Spain at the time and one owner was having no success in getting his engine to run right, despite having the factory shop manual and plenty of mechanical skill. So he took the engine out and shipped it to Marc. When Marc got it he, too, was having trouble getting it to run right, so he dove deeper into the shop manual pages and discovered that the factory shop manual had mis-labeled several wire colors in a wiring diagram. Once he figured out which wires were which, he got it running fine and shipped it back to Barcelona. Don't remember what year engine it was, and apologies to Marc if I got any of the details wrong.
