I wish. I don't know why but it never occurred to me back then to do that. I guess it seemed like they would always be there.
All the times we stopped by Baldwin Chevrolet to see what was new on the floor I could have filled a book. We would stop by Baldwin at least every other week, but the place we stopped every couple of days was "Z Motors" .
"Z Motors" was in Valley Stream near the city line. It was a block long with the office/showroom in the middle. All the cars on the east side of the office were just used cars. But all the cars on the west side were muscle cars. Very few were stock, they were all day 2 cars. An assortment like you couldn't believe. The amount of cars they sold was amazing!
A lot of them were beat to piss and just fixed enough to sell to a young kid who didn't know better. But to a knowledgeable shopper there were deals to be made. And forget the back row - old drag race cars and street racers they felt were to far gone to try and fix and sell. These would go "as is" cheap - cheap.
Got a couple of cool cars and spent many nights taking "test rides" - I would love to see some shots from there!
