Cool, too darn, Jake! I dropped by as a wishful customer when the green 2900 mile LS-6 was in the showroom (surrounded by 'vettes) - Bill kindly showed me his mint Silver L-78 Camaro (7k miles?) parked in the shop. Attended their auction at the O'Hare Expo Center w/blue 4k mile L-78 Nova and red '64 Goat - recalled 4k miles on this one also but found out maybe a few more via Stretch at MCACN (another good dude!). That car ended up in C'dale w/Jim L. (as with your '62!). Awesome photog Dave Newhardt worked on 'Vettes, etc. for Jim at the time, btw.
Missed the AMG era, but lived above Morton's for a while around that time and would see one or another in the garage from time to time and wondered if possibly Richard's, but likely those of your customers, if not. Can imagine it must have been a blast!
