"Even though the Dealership is not located in a Performance area..."
Ouch, I'm hurt. Shows how often the writers of Chevrolet Central visited the Pittsburgh area. The 'Burgh was a hotbed for performance oriented buyers in the late 60's. There was Kenny Ross selling plenty of L-78 cars and the sort, not to mention Don Allen, Tom Henry, Schrieber, Bud Donahue, and I'm sure several others that would sell you any high perf car in Chevy's lineup short of a COPO, which could had easily enough by heading on out to a little dealership in Washington county by the name of Yenko Chevrolet. Let's also not forget that Grabiak Chevrolet in nearby New Alexandria sold nearly as many Corvettes as Yenko did, and remains a tri-state Corvette volume sales leader still today. Sure...maybe the Pittsburgh area wasn't as performance oriented as say the Woodward cruising crew that bought from Berger or the Long Island Baldwin/Motion crowd, but it sure wasn't lacking in performance seeking customers or dealers that could provide what they were looking for.
to all the "back easties" out there.
