Description: Marvin 'Marv' Heemeyer had been in the muffler business since the late '70s, and after running a successful muffler shop in Boulder, Colorado for many years, he decided he wanted to a more rural lifestyle. In March 1992, Marv sold his shop in Boulder and purchased a 27-acre plot of land in neighboring Grand County with a small cabin on it. In nearby Granby, he picked up a two acre property and opened Mountain View Muffler in the Summer of 1992. Heemeyer's expertise in muffler repair earned him the nickname "Marv the Muffler Man," and he was said to be so good at his trade that he could change a muffler in 20 minutes flat. Sadly, Granby was less than welcoming, and Marv faced an uphill battle in a town that stacked the deck against him.
