You can probably call Brian Bast at Bast in Seaford LI, they have a complete Chevy performance shop on premises and host a bunch of vintage Chevy car shows in the summer, so they are performance minded, they probably have a bunch of the old crap/paperwork still laying around

Re: Long Island Dealerships
 

I know this is a little off topic, but I bought a 1966 Chevy II parts-car from a man who seems to be the original owner. The title is dated December 3, 1974. It says that Pietro Zacco bought the car 2/28/66 from Major Chevrolet Inc, 34-14 Steinway St. Long Island City, N.Y.

Are they still in business, or long gone ?

I have a 69 L89 Camaro sold by Yenko and delivered to Hoffman on Long Island. Looking for original owner Robert Massimo from New Hyde Park. Thought somebody from Hoffman might remember the guy. pkwbeach

Pkwbeach, do you have the zone codes for that dealer?

Does anyone here know what dealer is code 27275? I think it is probably in New York City or nearby. I tried searching, but got no results. Thanks, Nick

Re: Long Island Dealerships
 

That breaks down as Zone 27 Dealer 275.
I know of two 1970 Chevelles sold from these dealerships that might shed some light on your search,but both are defunct today.

University Chevrolet
1221 Jerome Ave.
Bronx 52 N.Y. 10452
Zone-27 Dealer-271

H M Williams Chevrolet
94-05 Northern Blvd.
Jackson Heights, N.Y. 11372
Zone-27 Dealer-283

Re: Long Island Dealerships
 

Hi Nick,
I looked in my personal dealer list and have a match.
27 275 is:
Village Chevrolet Co Inc
222-22 Jamaica Ave
Queens Village NY 11428

I think this came from a 1967 protecto plate book.

Re: Long Island Dealerships
 

Thanks to everyone! I just picked up my '74 Spirit of America Vega on Long Island two weeks ago. I passed by Bast Chevy on the way. Since it was built in Canada (1st year for this), I was able to get documentation from GM Canada for it. They only listed the code, not the dealer name, I figured it was in NYC, because an old key I got with the car was stamped with the name of a locksmith in Yonkers, NY. Another hint was the City/Country horn switch under the dash. I've only seen them on Ebay until now.
The body of the car is in great shape. The interior needs a little work (elbow grease, seat covers, carpet), but it's all there.
Best of all, I owned one of these back in the 70's, so it's like seeing an old friend again!
Thanks again for the help. -Nick
