Chevelle Remains

Photos I took several years ago of the remains of an old Chevelle race car that were sitting in a junk yard not far from Richmond International Raceway.

Just curious if that was at Al Grinnan's off Meadowbridge Rd.?

Wondered if that yard continued after Al's death. Thanks. Last time I was in it was to get a front headlight assembly for one of my daughter's cars in Charlotte. Al was a wonderful guy. A friend used to work on his old #27 yellow & white and #99 black modified owned by Sonny Hutchins over at Brooks Transfer (later became Hemingway) on The Boulevard. I always remember there was a car parked there bought from Earl Moss still painted red with the #300 on it. Got to be around Al a lot when I worked at the Richmond track and when he raced in Wilson, NC. A fun driver nice to all.... especially when watermelons were in season.
