Mander Chevrolet , North Vancouver

[892TopSportsman]

Hi, I am the NEIL MURPHY salesman in the Mander Supper Hugger add. I am not related to any of the other Murphy's working in the Mander Service Shop. I sold muscle cars new & used at Manders until Jim Mander sold the dealership.
Little did I realize that it would be a great time in my life, Selling and racing cars for Mander Chev Olds.

Even raced a 1966 Corvair Convertible and beat the NHRA National record holder for the class in the first outing. Boy where they pissed, and they tore me down to prove I was cheating. Which I was not.

CL!!!

Definately function before beauty!.
Seeing the HP is noted at 430, I wonder if they were L88 powered?.
Also if they built any 68's I wonder if Mander knew of/ordered any of the 9737 cars?.

Little on these or the Conroy Cheetah cars seems to exist so if anyone has more info/pics please post anything you have..

To date there's one existing Conroy Cheetah that appears to be the real deal plus a few possibles..

No idea on the car and/or Craigslist ad being authentic???
Wow if an original Conroy L36 or L72 Cheetah as any '67 dealer delivered 427 A-Body car is really something!.

Possibly a real dealer delivered 427 A-Body and nobody cares?.
Is it because it's wearing Beaumont clothes?.

Hey Pete I saw a real one at Classic Bowtie in Langley a while back. It was green I think. The owner said he was bring it to an auction, Barrett-Jackson I think. Car was really nice and very low milage. Until I saw that car in person I had never heard of it. I never thought of taking a picture of it. They are out there. I hope we get more info on the Mander soon,

Nice looking car. My first two cars were '66 SD Beaumonts so I've always had a love for them. Any idea what the guy is asking?

[PeteLeathersac]

Cool info fellas!.

Hi Keith, hope you're well!.
Were both your SD Beaumonts Mk1V cars?.
If yes, L34 or L35?.
Coupes?.

The green car you saw freak would probably be the restored car we've looked at in a few threads here including this one...

Beaumont SD's are cool on their own but a real Cheetah 427 car could be the coolest A-Body ever so I'm excited when any appear, hoping/looking for true provenance of being Conroy delivered w/ L36, L72 or maybe even L88 power!?
