Fencl Tufo Chevrolet Hi Performance Vin Numbers

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks. I have a tear in my eye.......

But I'm very happy for others who may discover the history of their car....

The name of the dealership sounds weird.

Mr. Ed's brother Bobby has a pin that he used to wear on his suit that said "Whats a Fencl Tufo?" I am doing my best at trying to pry it out of his hands!

The owners names were Dick Fencl & John Tufo

I just bought a 67 vette and the dealer codes and zones direct me to this dealership, can you help me on this? I saw you said it opened in 67?

[hvychev]

It was actually 68 Dave. They had no records for 1967 cars.

Thanks for the info, guess i will keep searching.. Thanks again for your help

No Verne. The dealer did not become Fencl Tufo till I believe 1968.
Correction Verne. The dealership opened in 1967.

Well, take a look at this auction. Bet noone noticed that dealer stamp, sold in Feb 68.

Very cool Kurt. Actually that was a different dealership all together. Dick Fencl the owner ended up selling that dealership shortly after that car was sold. He bought interest in Fencl Tufo Chevrolet in 1967.

I have a 1968 Camaro apparently sold new at Dick Fencl Chevrolet in late September or October of 1967. Any insight on when in 1967 the dealership name change took place or if there was an overlap? Thanks!
