Anyone have experience on dealing with VIR The Gallery

I'm hunting down a new purchase and was wondering if anyone has either had personal experience in dealing with them or could provide some credible second hand info. I tried searching but came up empty handed.

I know Randall Yow (the owner) personally and he is good people. He used to be in the paint and body business, as well as high end used road and race cars, here in Greensboro. His former shop painted my car and another Pelican board members car in 2001. Randall is meticulous about his cars, would not sell anything he didnt believe was good, and usually has very good prices. This is my car and the other one he painted.

Good luck,
Paul Thomas

What Paul said.... VaSteve purchased his SC from Randall a couple of years ago when his shop was still in Greensboro, and a Tim W. & I went to check it out for him (before he made a trip down). It was a treat to drool over all the cars in Randall's shop and if I could have found that spare $500,000.00 that I seemed to have misplaced, I would have purchased the 906 he had for sale

Yep, Randall Yow knows his stuff and is fair and honest.

I dunno, the 906, the 910 or the 962 he had for awhile were all impressive, and that's the tip of the iceberg.

What Keith and Tim said. Randall is great to deal with. When I went to VIR last September, I was able to peek in the windows of the gallery, droooooool.
