Dealership is as noted on the rear quarter panel.
Mussalem motors. Still there as Mussalem Chev Olds. Back then it was in the middle of nowhere. Buck Kinney, being a racer & a young mechanic there, talked the owner into bringing in 3 cars. They apparently sold so fast the dealership tried to bring in more but couldn't get them. There's a great story about the one car that was restored. A Camaro guy named Gary Grant came accross a 427 COPO engine & used the VIN to track down the original car. The car was then totally restored, I'll see if I can dig up the whole story as it was in a local magazine a while ago. I believe the picture is one of the 3[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
