			I've got some Bill Conner SS Chevrolet License plates,and decals.I have seen them around at swapmeets here and in the Indiana area in the past. I had no idea that name was in the Yenko Network. Roanoke is NorthWest of Muncie. I will make some inquiries in Indiana. |

			Thanks for the info Marlin...Did they join the network in 70 or did they potentially sell 69 Yenkos as well?

			To my knowledge, only '70's. I don't think I remember seeing them on any dealer listings/ad's before the Deuce campaign.

|  Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info 
			
			So is anyone here from Indiana?  How far away is Roanoke IN and Muncie IN?  I'm still wondering if this is the same dealership, or maybe 2 separate dealerships with the same owner, or is it 2 totally unrelated dealerships?

			Muncie is 65 miles SouthEast from Roanoke. I can't find out if they were the same owner. |

			Conner was a "prolific" advertiser and seemed to be a large dealer.  Some ads talked about having over 170 new Chevrolets to see on his lot.  I could not find an ad highlighting "special performance cars" but he seemed to have a regular supply of muscle cars - found 1 69 L78 4 speed Camaro he had on the lot.  Here's some more ads showing Bill himself, and another showing his entire sales team.
