Pete-

Jim Funston Chevrolet closed their doors in the late 70s. They were only three miles away from Merolis Chevrolet, a much larger dealer.....and on the same street as Funston Chev.

I'm reasonibly sure that the Funston building is still standing, but it is not in one of the better areas on the east side of Detroit. Merolis Chevrolet, who sold quite a few COPO cars, is still in business today.

If you get the GM historical records so that you are ready to see how your system is working to look up info, feel free to use my vin off my white car for test purposes.... just trying to help out!!!

I'm doing research on 1967 Z28s and Funston Chevrolet got car #25 of the first 25 Z28s built. The car would have been delivered in January of '67. Does anybody know the history of this particular car or if Funston received any other Z28s in 1967? I know the history of the majority of the first 25 Z28s built but would like to be able to add the Funston car to the list. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jon
