    Mikey,
    No to the factory antenna and the radio works just fine since Jerry R. restored it three years ago. Don't need A/C, just roll the windows down and go faster! Bill

        Well, I've had my '66 coupe for 27 years, however, the other jewel is the 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire with 87,000 miles my dad brought new in June 1961, just like the vette, absolutely great car, and btw, my wheels in high school!

          I bought this '57 back in 1989. Then I sold it in 1994. Now I just bought it back in March. Never sell it again!

            Hi Bill. Good to read your post and story about your one-owner. We've owned our '66 coupe for 39 years. I bought a '63 roadster in 1972 after getting out of the Army, and traded that for the coupe. Hope all is well with you!

                Hey Bill! I wish you luck on that drive. Be sure to take lots of water, spray bottles, wet towels, etc. Sharon and I made a similar trip to Collinsvile, Ill. for a national convention one year in our 66.

                    Hi Bill,
                    I recently acquired a '67 coupe that was originally delivered by Indian River Chevrolet in Cocoa, FL. I can't locate Indian River Chevrolet on the internet so I assume they are no longer an active dealership. Do you know what became of Indian River Chevrolet? Perhaps they were absorbed into another Chevrolet dealer in the area? Any information you can provide will be helpful. Thanks.

                          You're jumping dead in the middle of a 7 year old thread. You'd be better served to start a new thread asking your question using the dealer name in your subject line.

                              I will be visiting Tasca GMC in Melbourne tomorrow, where the Parts Manager may have info regarding IR Chevrolet. He worked at Rathman Chevrolet in Melbourne for many years and knew all of the dealers in the area. Cocoa is about 20 miles north of Melbourne.

                              Iirc, Bob Steele Chevrolet in Cocoa took over for IRC long Go.
