In pictures: Massive Corvette collection in Georgia backwoods
This backwoods jewel is the home of Greg Wyatt, a quiet southern car buff who has spent three decades building a business as a restorer and trader of classic Corvettes. As locations go, there is nothing more unlikely than Wyatt's - you'll never find him without a set of GPS co-ordinates or turn-by-turn directions ("go past Hog Jowl Road, and look for Uncle Jed's store.") But the right people know exactly where Wyatt is. Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck called last year and bought a classic Corvette. So did dozens of others. Wyatt sells about 80 cars a year, from about $80,000 to nearly $1-million.
