Looking for what information or trinkets I can get from this dealer? I have been told that this was my car’s selling dealer.

They were a Yenko Network Dealer we've discussed here in a few past threads.
Love to hear more about your car from there.

Thanks Pete. Thought of you right away as having some advertisement on file. I have held off posting the story that explains where in my signature it says, I found my owner history! This, only because the fella that put it all together and filled in all the gaps about this car’s past, sent me a crappy pic from his photo album. I have tried since last March to meet up at his house to take my own undistorted pics, but he has never had me over. Story forthcoming though.

If you enlarge my pic in my signature, that is right where I was running 40 years ago. And that car in the pic IS that car that came from that dealer and I still own!

----Wonder how close Bob Kihm Chevy was to Konner Chevy? My 67 Corvette came from Konner but the original owner was from Hamilton......Bill S

Looks like they were 600+ miles apart Bill so OO may've been in NJ for a reason?
Konner being known as well stocked w/ 'Vettes could be why but seems a bit far?:hmmm:

----Pete,,,There was also my Konner Chevrolet in Hamilton Ohio. It's supposed to be the same family. I know it existed as I stood on the dealer floor in 1969!......Bill S

Any chance you're thinking of the Konner operation in Columbus Ohio?
Cool if there was one in Hamilton too but seems like there's zip online about it?:hmmm:

----You are right, Pete! Hamilton is a suburb of Columbus and way back then I thought I was in Hamilton, I guess. I actually have an address as 5055 East Main street, Columbus, Ohio in my folder. Thanks for keeping me honest,,,LOL!......Bill S
