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.

Yep...your right and I stand corrected. I was given bogus info.

For years Dwiggins ran Village Motors Inc. in Conover, NC. 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.

Carl Dwiggins was in in NC..some of you guys might be thinking of KC Spurlock who was featured in a lot of mags at that time..he lived in Tenn.

Believe it was CJ Spurlock and he owned a Brown COPO among others. He was a manager for some of the Country Music artists.

Kenny Rogers was one notable singer. KC owned a very nice swiss cheese Catalina...

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.

I never knew that was his kid in NHRA...

K.C. "Hollywood" Spurlock. He was pretty good. Wonder why he didn't stick with it?
