Re: R&S Chev, Joplin
M,
Just got off the phone with Larry Shelley. He is a guy in his mid 50's and a used car dealer. Said he bought what he thought was a Duece in Little Rock about 1975-76 time frame. Blue car, special door panels, Yenko badges. No stripes but thinks it had been repainted. Had a 350 in it when he got it. He had bought and sold the car 2 or 3 times during the next 4 or 5 years. Sold it to someone up in Pea Ridge. Then a Jim Hill bought it from the guy in Pea Ridge, and Larry ended up with it again. The owners in Pea Ridge apparently had dropped a big block in it. He sold it to some gal in Bentonville and she blew the motor out of it.
Last he heard, he thought the old car was sitting somewhere off the 540 bypass between here and Ft Smith.
Anyway, he also had a '69 "Dickey H" Camaro at the time. Blueish silver in color and ended up somewhere in Minnesota. Was painted black by the time it went up there.
Not sure if this helps much or not. If you need to talk to him, he is a great guy and have told him I will post his number for you to get ahold of him if you need to. Larry is at 501-636-9239.
