Re: {Chrysler 300} Gary Goers

Very sad news. Gary was always very understanding and helpful with our restorations. I think it’s safe to say that his spirit lives on in many of our cars and will continue to after we too have gone….

John: Nice to see this “Gary-ized” cartoon, originally penned for OCW by my Cornell roommate and fraternity brother, Jay Piesanti.

Rest in Peace, Gary.

What sad news. I first met Gary in '97 at a 300 Club Inc meet when he drove his freshly restored black D on it's maiden trip from Montana to Daytona Beach! Then in '99 he drove his Dodge Dart to the Carlisle, PA Meet where he had to seek out a gas tank replacement as his was leaking much of the way from Montana. Gary did both my '56 NYer convertibles and 300B interiors and provided me with numerous reproduction parts over the years.

It was always a great and funny time when the dynamic duo auctioneers of Goers and Tony Bevacqua got together to get top dollar for Mopar parts at the meets.

I sent Gary this cartoon below, (slightly embellished with his name) that appeared in Old Cars Weekly some 20+ years ago. So fitting; an F convertible and talking about its interior! He contributed so much for all our Mopars.

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends,
John Cote

Hello,

I wanted to pass along the news that my father, Gary Goers, passed away this morning. He had a stroke yesterday. Massive blood clot in the brain they could not operate on, and almost completely paralyzed. He was taken off life support early this morning. He was 79.
I know my dad meant a lot to those who restored Chrysler 300s. I’m not sure if he was part of this group on FB, but figure many people in here probably dealt with him.

If you have any questions Iet me know. I will pass on funeral information when we get things in order.

Thanks for your time.
Scott
