Dunlop Chevrolet, Macon, GA

[Norris]

How's this for a first post here bringing a 10 yr old discussion back to the top? I'm in Macon, Ga and well familiar with Dunlap Chev and George Youmans Jr., the present owner. Among my collection of cars I have an LS6 Chevelle and a '69 L89 Corvette that were sold there. My family bought a number of cars from Dunlap over the years. What's really sad is that there was a literal mountain of old records in the Dunlap Chev. building in downtown Macon for years after the building was vacated when a new facility was built 5 miles away. I'm not sure how they were organized, but could have probably been had for the taking had someone had the interest. I believe they remained there into the 90's, certainly the late 80's. I wouldn't consider that Dunlap was exactly a high performance dealer, but they did sell quite a few SHP Chevrolets in Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes and full size.

As a side note, I have a friend of a friend who's family had a dealership up North, I think Illinois or Michigan. He's been going through their old records and has found some documentation on quite a few SHP Chevy's, I think including a Z16 and a good bit of L78 and L78/L89 stuff. I think he's going to be offering it to people who can match up cars. I'll put another post on it when I hear more.
