Fencl Tufo Chevrolet Hi Performance Vin Numbers

hvychev · #1 02-07-2005, 04:34 AM

Moderators, Please leave this in the regular discussion forum for a week then please relocate it with a sticky in the Misc. Dealers section. 

I had KurtS from CRG post these for me on the Camaro site and Hawaiian Jeff linked them here so I finally got off my a$$ and made the whole list.

Fencl-Tufo Chevrolet was a Chicago area dealership located at 414 E. North Ave. Glendale Heights, ILL. They were a high volume dealer and sold thousands of cars including MANY Hi Performance Chevrolets while in business from late 1968 till the late 80's. The Chitown famous "Mr. Ed" of Brigance Chevrolet later became the New Car Manager there from 1970 till the late 70's and the dealership was known for selling MANY Hi-po cars including 6 Yenko Deuces and some Vegas. The paperwork on many of these cars was salvaged from the dealership by an employee in the 1980's. This paperwork consists of ONLY dealer/factory documents. The person who acquired it at that time was afraid to take papers with the purchasing customers private info on it like bill of sales, financing contracts, etc. (To bad....) The paperwork is VERY cool and can consist of just a dealer order form to a whole packet including window sticker, factory invoice, POP(very few have this), car shipper, etc, etc. I will list the vins by year and car. If you have a car on the list or know of one then e-mail me at [email protected] and I will get the paperwork reunited to the car.

**YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY** · #4 02-07-2005, 06:28 PM

Well done Frank and Kurt!!

lou68l89 · #5 07-22-2005, 06:42 AM

this is awsome, does anyone have more information like this for 68 Camaros possible from the North Eastern area, like Ohio. Here's my VIN just in case. 124378n440139, It's supposed to be an L89 car, and it only has 6,800 and some miles on it, do to sitting in garages since the early 70's
thanks alot

Frank,
That is extremely good info. Any one of those could prove to be the holy grail for the owner.

I have to ask............any possibility he has paperwork for early '60s cars sold there?

Thanks,
Verne

hvychev · #8 07-22-2005, 10:18 PM

No Verne. The dealer did not become Fencl Tufo till I believe 1968.

hvychev · #9 07-23-2005, 03:14 AM

Correction Verne. The dealership opened in 1967.

Verne_Frantz · #10 07-23-2005, 07:57 AM

Thanks. I have a tear in my eye.......

But I'm very happy for others who may discover the history of their car....
