Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Any other owners around of cars from Musselum Motors, Vancouver , B.C. ? ( Dealership previously went by name of Haney Garage )

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

I have seen the Haney name on a few 1970 L-78 & LS-6 Chevelles.One in particular stands out among the rest.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Mussallem Motors is my local dealer. It is in Maple Ridge. Near Vancouver. It is still business.

I don't know when the dealership name changed but some of the same people are still there today from the Haney Garage days.

Do you know Ken Winn the GM ?

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

I have talked to him, but have not bought anything off him.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Ken is a very good guy. He's been there since the 60'! He was there when my copo car came in. ( They had two copo camaros. A hugger orange car and my daytona yellow car ). He was kind enough to write me a letter on their letterhead about my car and the name of the salesman , etc. People like Ken are generally not around anymore.

This dealer also sold a Lemans blue automatic COPO chevelle which now resides in Oak Harbour Washington.

Randy,
I was not aware of any other copo cars they had sold besides my car and a hugger orange camaro. That's good information. What else do you know about any " super cars " they have been involved with and or are around still ?

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

I was told be the owner that use to own your car that they only sold the 3 copo cars.I was also told that the dealer tried to order some more copos but could not any more. I know of 4 other copos that were sold new in British Columbia, 3 chevelles and 2 camaros which includes the camaro I own. Most of these cars have gone the US.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Randy, Again real good information.

Which prior owner are you refering to ? ( I have personally spoken to the original owner Jack Euwda ).

What's new up there in BC ?

Regards, Steve

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

The owner I am referring to owned both of these copo camaro's at the same time. He sold the yellow car to collector in Alberta and restored the orange car.The orange car has since been sold to the US a few years ago.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Kenn Winn told me a picture of the hugger orange copo is still on the wall in their parts department. Talk about respect.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Hey Randy
Welcome to the site. Glad you finally found it. Ever get your car done????

The car was completely restored about 2 years ago. I am now replacing any repo and any incorrect parts with nos parts as I find them.

Stanley Cup winning goal, 69-70 season. Probably the most famous goal of all time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

My 70 Z-28 was sold new at Mussalem. I think they sold quite a few performance cars there.
When the weather gets nice I'm taking it on its inaugural (sp?) voyage to Mussalem.

Musselum Motors were the Sponsor of Buck Kinney's Super/Stock Camaros in the sixties. Here's a shot of the 68 with the 69 to follow. ...............Bill

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Here's Kinny's 69 Camaro. ..........Bill

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

I worked for the guy that bought the 66. When he got it, it was a 396. I got a ride in it and it was cool.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

I actually work for Mr. Kinney part time, after school, weekends, etc. Here is a recent picture i took of the 71' Special.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Article in local newspaper on Friday announcing that Musselum Motors was going out of business. They probably sold their property for a bucket of money and figured it was more than they would make selling cars over the next few years.

Thanks for the heads up. Yea, I just called up there to thank Ken Wind for all his information etc. and there was no answer. According to some of my documentation " Serving you since 1920 ". Sorry to see them go. Ken Wind had been there as sales manager for about forty years. Incredible and and incredible guy.

Any of you guys from this post still active here ? This car mentioned above belonged to me at one time . I've been trying to track her down off and on for the last 20 years . I always wanted to know what became of it and was pleasantly surprised to see it in Washington , then noticed the dates of this thread lol . I did however do a VIN search lately and it is still reg'd in Washington state , as of March 2015 . Anyone here know who owns it now ? I bought this car ( in 1978 ) when I turned 17 and we had a lot of great times together , great memories and would be happy to see it again ( hopefully , nicely restored ) .

Thanks !!

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

The car is owned by Steve Ellis in Oak Harbour Washington. It was restored about 15 years ago.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Wow thats pretty cool , glad its still alive and well . Do you know if he ever came back and got the 427 ( its original motor ) for it ?

Here it is in 78 when I owned it
And another from 78

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

When Steve bought the car as a project from the previous owner, the car come with a matching number engine.I don't know if its is the original engine from the car. The original owner told Steve he damaged the original engine in the first year he had the car.

Re: Musselum Motors ( Haney Garage )
 

Yeah , the guy who bought it new from Musselum Garage had an incident with the 427 ( I believe it was an unrecoverable engine seizure ) . I'm glad he found it , last I heard that motor was still sitting in Mission BC , but this car had a LOT of rumors surrounding it , in its early years. Buck Kinney also owned it for 2 years , wonder if Steve knew that ?
When I bought it , it had a 396/350 HP in it , it was quite the engine , I never lost a single street race the entire time I owned it , and some clown previous to my ownership , put the SS396 emblem up front and a SS only one in the back. I guess trying to make it look flashy , I found it on a used car lot in the spring of 78 . It was only 9 years old when I bought it and it was mint , except for a little bad patch of chrome on the front bumper , which always irritated me ha . The last engine I had in the car was pretty healthy 427 , it ended prematurely as well , swallowed a valve due to a broken valve spring retainer . Wasn't pretty .
If you know Steve , I'd really love a couple of pictures of it the way it looks today , it would be greatly appreciated as the car really meant a lot to me , I just wish I'd known what it was back then lol . Sounds like its still having a great life . Appreciate the info , thanks man .

Jeff

Thanks for posting those Randy , from what I can see there , the old girl looks amazing . He's certainly done her proud !
I bet he was cursing me during that restoration for putting those hood pins in that BB hood lol . If you ever run into Steve tell him I'd love to trade some pictures with him . Here is one , was my first trip with it after I bought it .
