Has anyone ever heard of Scuncio Chevrolet in RI? Apparently it is no longer there. I bought my 69 N-14 Coupe off the original owner in Johnston RI. The partial build sheet indicates it was delivered to Scuncio in RI. Still has the holes where the dealer plate was affixed to the rear above the letters. Seems it was kind of a race-ready type dealership. Just checking to see if anyone has heard of it. Thanks.

John,

Scuncio was a well known high performance dealer back in the day.

In addition to Corvettes, they also sold a fair number of COPO Camaros and I believe that they were also an authorized Yenko distributor as well.

Thanks Stan, I was toying with the idea of finding a Scuncio emblem for my 69 since the holes are still there.

Great thanks! Since you are up that way if you ever run into a dealer emblem for the rear keep me in mind. Take care!

I was there in 1970 and saw a new dark green Yenko Duece parked out in the lot in front of the showroom.

Were there a lot of dealerships like this back in the day?

Rowdy Rat

There were a few... "A lot" would be stretching it though.

Good luck on the emblem. Scuncio was into the really high performance stuff so they've got a bit of a "cult" following in the auto memorabilia world... Which means their stuff tends to be a bit pricey.

Regards,

Stan

LOL, yea I kinda figured that when I noticed a guy trying to sell a paper floor mat for nearly $300.

I bought my new 1968 corvette from scuncio chevrolet in 1968 from salesman bob Johnson who had a race team of Camaro Raced under the name Strip Teaser. I still have my 68 and it has the scuncio high performance dealer emblem on the back.

Stan I had told you on the Florida judging field that I have an original scuncio Chevrolet Corvette with the emblem on the back. I bought it in 68

There are two dealer emblems on eBay. One for $150, the other for $600!

I saw them. Pretty high dollar. My 69 (L46 Orig N14) still has the tear drop holes in the rear under the letters where the emblem was. Problem is I do not know which one would have been there as there are a few different ones on the market.

I bought the car in RI from the original owner. An older guy named Mario (goomba...I can say that as I am 1/2 Italian).
