Now that I've verified that the place still exists (thanks Jim) I can give
the name and phone number:
formerly Columbia Sports Car Garage, now Classics & Sportscars, the number
is 803-754-5363
I took those pictures back in 1994 when Mr. Broom seemed to be shutting the
place down, which is why at the time he seemed anxious to move the
inventory. Now that his kid(s) are involved it seems to have new life.

Humm...$150.00 for a drive shaft, sounds like he really wanted to give you
the
shaft alright! I haven't seen these cars, but Scott tells me that he was
very
reasonable about prices and really wanted to get rid of this stuff.
About the "Rust Free" comment:
I agree with Russ and probably should have used a better descriptive word.
Scott
saw this car as it pulled in on the trailer. His comment was "a very solid
car". I
have no idea if the "solid" red Alpine is still there or not.
