With so many PA guys here, I figured this would spawn some memories...

I went there once in the 80's on my way to Carlisle one year. I saw a real nice 1970 Boss 302 (grabber blue)and a nice 1969 Trans Am. I wanted the Trans Am but, it was already sold. I took a brown 1971 'Cuda, that had been built up with a 440+6 and a 4 speed, for a test drive; man that thing was fast.
Didn't wind up buying anything there and headed to Carlisle where I bought something (forget what I bought that time).

Thanks for the post. Brings back many memories for sure. I grew up and still live about 30 minutes from their location and would stop by from time to time in the mid to late 70's to check out the muscle. Last time I was there, I remember seeing a purple '70 Hemi Roadrunner. They always had a good selection of muscle cars and it was always a treat to take a trip to Lebanon with a few buddies to see what was on their lot. Good times indeed.

I have a picture of my old '71 BM Camaro on that lot in about 1973.

The original owner's son is Steve Keller who is keeping his father's love of muscle car's alive and sells muscle cars from his Ford dealership in Lebanon, PA. If you do a search for Keller Ford in Lebanon, PA you will see his muscle cars for sale.

That was always an evening trip over there from The Cadillac Hotel in Palmyra when we went to Hershey every year. I was so upset when we went up there one year and the place was empty.

Wow, that brings back memories. I remember that Hot Rod article from when I was in High School. Our school library actually had a subscription to Hot Rod...It was the only way to get us gearhead punks into the library. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

I was in elementary school, my brother had a subscription...it cemented my lust for American musclecars....along with &quot;Musclebound For Glory - The Top Ten Musclecars&quot; from December, 1979 HR.
