Bill Heard is still in Columbus and has numerous mega dealerships in GA and AL. In Atlanta, he owns the 4 largest Chevrolet stores in town.

That one's about 10 min. from my house. It used to be Jerry Brown Chevrolet until about 5 years ago.

Speaking of Dueces sold down south, has the red one sold at Capital Chevrolet in Montgomery, AL been found? That dealership is still around as well.

If memory serves me correctly, that red automatic at Capitol was the very last Deuce sold. I don't think its been found. Marlin?

Nope, the red a/t w/ p/s deuce from Capitol has not been found. I found out by accident (sort of) that it was an R title in AL in '73'ish, and was taken to MO by a salvage company - I believe it was a flood vehicle. The deuce was then held for about 6 mos or so, then sold to a local guy in '74. I have never been able to find that guy.

According to the body numbers, it is indeed the last deuce produced. It's one of the many research cars I work on from time to time, would love to find it and go pure stock racing with it.

When I bought my deuce from J.Griffin in Gallatin, TN, he told me of a guy in Arab, AL who called about the silver deuce that J. had sold previously. This guy in Arab had bought a silver one new, and totalled it. We are not exactly sure of the dealer, but speculate that it was the Richard Kelley Chev. car from Birmingham - it is not known if this original owner lived in Arab at the time of purchase.
