Default Harry May Chevy - Monroe, Michigan / Milan Dragway

Any Michigan locals that are familiar with the dealership, cars or people that worked there back in 69/70?
Any one that used to watch the races at Milan and Detroit Dragways?

trying to learn more and research a car from that era.

Harry May Chevrolet was a Yenko Network dealer..
They delivered lots of performance cars including two '70 Yenko Deuces!.

Are both Deuces still unaccounted for Marlin?.
And please post their Dealer code if you have it?.

Good luck w/ your quest Adam!.

Yes, unfortunately. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Both of the Deuces from H. May are unfound, and I suspect that a third Deuce was sold from there as well - we just don't have all of the paperwork (yet).

Don't we wish!! We've been searching pretty hard for 15 years now, and we've not turned up a sheet in the past 8-10 years. So, we are not holding our breath. We would find sheets when we would discover cars where the owner had verified his car with Vince back when he would send out the sheets. I don't think all 10 sheets are in circulation. The only hope is that Vince will release the sheets someday, and I don't think that will happen - not that I blame him!

Cool ad and W [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]W on confirming the Harry May/Harrell Performance Ctr. thing Adam!.
I've looked but not found a solid Harrell connection and being a Yenko network dealer figured they were involved w/ Dick earlier at best so the ad you posted showing both their name and the '69 car is really something!.

Interesting too is the file properties of the ad posted include '4-24-70DragWorld' so was Harry May a Yenko network dealer and representing Harrell at the same time?.
Did they deliver 1970 cars from both and/or or earlier?.

Thanks for the update on the May delivered Deuces Marlin!.
Can you post their Dealer code if you have it?.
