About Columbia Two Speed Parts . . .
John Connelly and Dan Krehbiel bought the parts inventory from Jim Durall & Jim Webber in Tennessee in September of 2006 and moved the products out to Temecula, California. Dan decided within a few months that he needed more time to concentrate on his Columbia rebuilding business . . . and so, in July, 2007 John & Margaret Connelly became the outright owners of Columbia Two Speed Parts, Inc.
John and Dan remain close friends (and neighbors) and help each other out with their projects. John has been a machinist in southern California for over 40 years. He retired in 1999 after selling his two machine shops in Orange County. In recent years he has been assisting many of our local southern California V-8 club members with various projects related to restoring their cars. With a machine lathe, mill and various other machinery in his Shop, John continues to machine parts for Dan Krehbiel, Joe Longobardi and our many other customers in this V-8 related hobby.
