Default Jack Head Chevrolet

Jack Head Chevrolet was a high performance chevy dealer for only 7years and sold many high performance Nova's, 396 Chevelle, 427 Camero, 427 Vet, 427 Caprice, El Camino's etc... and sponsored the Mako Shark Vet funny car.
Jack Head is still hanging on at 95yo. I am his son and I still have some of the original frames and memorabilia. Great days and great cars during the 60's and still working on one.

Nice to have you check in here and nice to hear that about your dad. I have a friend that used to have a red '67 RS Z-28 that came out of Jack Head Chevrolet when new. Definitely have seen some other neat hi-po cars come out of there. Great days and great cars indeed.

Welcome Jon!
Can you tell us why the dealership only was around for 7 years?
I assume none of the vehicle documentation from the dealership still exists...?
Thanks!

Jon my Dad was the owner of the Mako Shark. I just happened to find a business card from Jack Head. I guess my Dad sold cars there for awhile. Which I never knew.
