Looking for info on Bill Conner Chevrolet in Muncie Indiana. I have a lisitng for a Conner Chevrolet in Roanoke Indiana as a Yenko network dealer, but I don't know if this is the same place... Anyone know where Roanoke IN is in relation to Muncie?

I've got some Bill Conner SS Chevrolet License plates,and decals.I have seen them around at swapmeets here and in the Indiana area in the past.
I had no idea that name was in the Yenko Network.
Roanoke is NorthWest of Muncie.
I will make some inquiries in Indiana.

Conner in IN sold at least 2 deuces, neither of which is found.

Thanks for the info Marlin...Did they join the network in 70 or did they potentially sell 69 Yenkos as well?

To my knowledge, only '70's. I don't think I remember seeing them on any dealer listings/ad's before the Deuce campaign.

So is anyone here from Indiana? How far away is Roanoke IN and Muncie IN? I'm still wondering if this is the same dealership, or maybe 2 separate dealerships with the same owner, or is it 2 totally unrelated dealerships?

Muncie is 65 miles SouthEast from Roanoke.
I can't find out if they were the same owner.

Conner was a "prolific" advertiser and seemed to be a large dealer. Some ads talked about having over 170 new Chevrolets to see on his lot. I could not find an ad highlighting "special performance cars" but he seemed to have a regular supply of muscle cars - found 1 69 L78 4 speed Camaro he had on the lot. Here's some more ads showing Bill himself, and another showing his entire sales team.
