Byrnes Bros. Chevrolet or Konner Chevrolet info.
 
Does any information from Byrnes Brothers Chevrolet in White Plains, NY, or Konner Chevrolet in Columbus, OH ??? I am looking for dealer badges or emblems, license plate frames, literature, etc. I understand that Byrnes Bros. had a high performance dept, any literature or advertisements would be very helpful.

Thanks, Frank

So, is anybody aware of any Byrne converted 454 Novas, etc?? They were so close to Motion, you'ld think there would have been a lot of competition between the two.

Re: Burns Bros. Chevrolet or Konner Chevrolet info.
 
Well. They obviously advertised them. I'm sure there had to be a few made.. I's sure like to see one, or all. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thank You for all of the responses and info. Does anyone know of any of the Byrne Bros. High Performance catalogues out there anywhere ??? If I can't buy an original, a copy would be good. I am also still looking for Konner Chevrolet info.

Thanks again,
Frank

My Chevelle is from Bryne Bro. I haven't found much on the dealer other then what I found in the magazines. They ran a house drag car 1969 Z/28. I met Jerry Roberts who was the parts guy there in the 60s. He remembered seeing the COPOs and Yenkos and said they sold a lot of Zs. At one time they averaged one a day. He said on some Sat. mornings there would be 5 crate engines waiting to be picked up. I have not found anything about them doing transplants. Sounds like they were a high volume hi po car and parts dealer.

Guys!

I live all of 5 minutes from White Planes. I will take a stroll down there sometime over the weekend. I am originally a Philly guy, but I have lived in NY for 30 years now and never did I know anything about this dealer.

Hey MOF, Thanks for the picture of the Byrne Bros. Camaro drag car and the ad. They will look great framed and hung in my office. The Byrne Bros. COPO is coming along great, in fact outstanding. Caleb can't wait for this car to be finished, well, neither can I. If everything goes as planned, it will be ready for the reunion...We have had a very productive couple of weeks on it during Caleb's Christmas break.

Re: Byrnes Bros. Chevrolet or Konner Chevrolet inf
 
That is our plans, but, he will only be 12 years old. Maybe he can get a little seat time in my blue COPO before the reunion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
