Re: Looking for a Car Collector in North Carolina
NC, Are you sure Carl has never been in N.Carolina? I know my memory is not as good as it used to be but it seems I remember reading in a magazine about ten years ago that he was in N. Carolina. I am certainly not sure but for some reason that connection popped into my head. The article was about the same time that Otis Chandler was in his heyday in the world of muscle car collections. Buy the way, how is the weather down in NC right now... I have been thinking of taking a trip somewhere, anywhere for that matter that doesnt have three feet of SNOW!
Thanks, Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Looking for a Car Collector in North Carolina
I recall several article about Carl Dwiggins collection which at one time was the best or certainly one of the best. I clearly recall at the time of the articles he lived in NC. I believe he was a car dealer not the owner of a Capt D's chain.
Motown, was sunny and 75 in Atlanta today. sorry to hear about your snow [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I remember stopping there and talking to Carl. Heres the info I have: Village Motors Inc. 529 1st. St. E. Conover, NC 28613 704-464-6842 However, the phone # no longer works. Perhaps he has retired.

Re: Looking for a Car Collector in North Carolina
Believe it was CJ Spurlock and he owned a Brown COPO among others. He was a manager for some of the Country Music artists.

Re: Looking for a Car Collector in North Carolina
Kenny Rogers was one notable singer. KC owned a very nice swiss cheese Catalina...

Re: Looking for a Car Collector in North Carolina
It's "C.K." Spurlock. At one time he owned a company that built sprint cars and he was the promoter/agent for Kenny Rogers. He had a nice collection of about 15 musclecars, including a couple of Z-11's, '64 Galaxie lightweight, '63 Swiss Cheese Catalina, and a JL-8 Camaro. I bought a brown COPO Camaro from him in 1988. It's in southern CA now. I think C.K. sold most or all of his cars after a nasty divorce and the decline of Kenny Rogers career. His son tried NASCAR and NHRA for a while.
