You know him as the barn find hunter, but much like his adventures, you never know what you may discover once you raise the door. To say that he is a car guy may be understating his passion a bit. From classics to race cars, to mom’s former grocery getter that somehow managed to find itself pushed into the corner since no one can remember when.

We're about to pull the dust cover off a man you think you know and discover what a gem he truly is.

The history of GSS SUPERCARS started as many companies in the automobile industry do; as a labor of love based on a passion for exciting automobiles.

After a successful career that spanned over 25 years, Larry hooked up with Mr. Norm, the visionary who accurately predicted the immense impact baby boomers would have on the auto industry, particularly regarding the emerging performance segment in the early 1960’s.

Armed with this knowledge, Mr. Norm built Grand Spaulding Dodge into the leading high-performance new car dealership of the era, and ultimately the number one Dodge dealer in the nation.

Among many achievements, Mr. Norm was the creative force behind the development and subsequent production of such legendary muscle cars as the 1968 GSS 440 M-CODE Dart.

In 1996, Larry created the first of the new generation of Mr. Norm’s high-performance vehicles, the 1997 Mr. Norm’s GSS Supercharged Ram. Powered by a Kenne Bell supercharged 5.9 Magnum V8, this red-hot Ram was a tire smoking encore to Mr. Norm’s original giant killer, the 1972 GSS Supercharged 340 Demon.
