Rich, the site policy is no links to sites that support illegal activities. Period. The post was reported by several other members and was handled. Deal with it. He could have PM'd you the link.

Hey Rich went to Google images and found some neat stuff,not sure if its true but it leads me to believe that Curry had a bunch of Dealerships.Looks like the Scarsdale location is still in Business could the Hempstead Location which is much closer to Baldwin LI been another Location Curry closed back in the day.Maybe this Hempstead location closed sometime after 1969,anybody know.Looks like the Curry family had Dealerships for over 50 years!

I have some misc. paperwork from the Curry Chevrolet of Hempstead (not camaro stuff). I have an invoice from 68. It has a cool picture of the front of the dealer on the invoice and order sheet. I was mentioning this thread to my father and he said that he was buying parts for his 66 chevelle ss396 from there starting in 73 and he worked right across the street from the dealer at National Cash Register. He thinks it was open well into the 70's and possibly into the 80's.

Hi Warren, I understand that Curry was not known as a "HiPo" dealer, but does your dad remember any motion modded cars from Curry?

Any memory of who the sales or service manager was from back then?

The dealer codes show it (Hempstead Curry) closing in 70 and the "other" curry opening in 70. I wonder if they just opened a second location?

My understanding of it was it meant a "Triple-Black" (top/bottom/interior) color combo - very desirable at the time - and come to think about it, now also ;)

Hmmm. Looks like the Chevelle site no longer has the dealer codes on closed dealers listed?

You can look up zone 27, but 079 or 79 comes back blank now. If you search all zone 27 dealers you can find Curry at the Hempstead location but the dealer code now shows "closed" instead of the 079 that I am pretty sure was there before?

Anyone have another web source that lists the dealers and zone codes?

Tks,

Rich

What I have been told (by Insurance adjuster) is you call them with a VIN and they can tell you the date shipped and to what dealer. They can't tell you if its a Z28 or SS396. The HP line is likely because in some states HP was taxed but from my understanding is they used a formula to list the HP, they did not list the advertised HP of the car model.

Police supposedly can do a nationwide search state by state using a VIN. But saying that, doing it for personal reasons can possibly get you in a whole heap of trouble unless you have a legitimate reason for doing the search.

Looks like the ad also states that they sell Yenko Deuces and have a HiPo shop "With the Super Secret Know How". Maybe they were a little more HiPo than I thought?

I called. You can only get information such as if the car was ever stolen or any known claims.

They won't give out the date shipped or to what dealer to the owner and they won't give that to an insurance agent either.

black wasn't offered as a standard color in 70. i believe the procedure for gmad was Wait until the dealer orders added up and shot the black in groups after taking the finished body off the end of the body line and massaged them a little better for the black paint . and another thought , the cars may also be a stripe delete car also as the claim is "ALL" black and stripes were standard in 70
