Very nice group I think the Mosport 66 big block may be my favorite, but the 65 and 69 look great too

Awesome lineup! Pretty cars.

Maybe it's time to add a restomod to the fleet, and have even more fun! I found once I'd restored my cars, I got a little bored. Just me I guess.
Happy New Years!

A good friend sold his 66 Mosport Green 427 with 10,000 original miles (true survivor, he was 2nd owner) about 10-11 years ago at Barrett-Jackson but it did not have knock-offs or gold lines. I remember he called me and asked me to take pictures of the car and get them to his secretary so she could submit the application. I decided to take the car to a scenic lake shot about 5 miles from the garage and on the way back, I used Woodward Ave for the route and suddenly realized I'm doing 45 MPH on 35 year old tires. Couldn't get off to a 25MPH side street fast enough.

P.S. In fact the lake shot is the same one as in my avatar

Looking for information on any of theses dealers.



Great cars! I hope you also enjoy driving them.
I live about ten miles from East Hartford Ct. Dworin Chevrolet was owned and operated for many years by Hy Dworin and his wife Mickey. I'm not sure when the dealership was sold. My uncle attempted to purchase it from the Dworins sometime in the early to mid seventies but they refused his offer and later sold it to an old established Hartford car dealer family that was known for being the nations highest volume AMC dealer for many years. Lipman Chevrolet operated at that same location until it succumbed to hard times and was sold to another Hartford area family operation. This same location now operates as Gengras Chevrolet. I don't know when the dealership changed hands but I remember that it was still Lipman when the C4s arrived in "83 or "84. They were pushing me to buy one.
Just curious. Do you have the original paperwork for your car that indicates who the original owner would have been?
