They were a big performance dealer in the 1970's lots of Corvettes,Camaros,Chevelles and 442's came out of there. One salesman in particular was noted for selling performance,I recall his name was Gerry or Gary Locke.

I worked in Halifax in the winter of 1973 and would visit their lot on the weekends to check out the used stuff.Friend of mine bought a new 69 Z from them.

I own the McDonald COPO. I am currently traveling but have the info. Ronnie is still working and can be contacted at O'Regans. Bob is at home. His number is listed. Let me know if you need more but I won't be back in Houston until the 28th of Sept.
