Default Re: Unrestored - Survivor 1969 L78 396 375hp Pace Car

When I spoke to James Maples, the owner of the dealership he said the dealership change names at the end of 1969. In fact Maples Chevrolet is still in business at the same location. The dealership actually sold the car twice. Once as a new car to the original owner and a second time when the original owner traded the car in for a Corvette in 71-72. The original owner told me he traded the car in because he couldn't get premium fuel in Newton at the time and the car desiled so bad with out it that it was almost un-drivable. I suspect the dealer sticker is from it being on Maples used car lot.
