I have had Mike Robbins as a customer for quite a few years. He has used my engines in some heads up programs. I was unaware of a tornado hitting Ringgold Ga. until I read this thread. Mike is the current owner of the dealership Mr. Nance owned.
I E-mailed him and got this response:

Adger, here are pics of the damage it was an ef4

My dad bought the dealership from two partners Raymond Beasley and
Robert Nance. As a kid I helped Robert work on a ss/aa dart named "Car
Wars" he made me do all the hard work like lay under the dash and run
wires. he was all hemi or small block. He thought the big blocks were
crap...
Mike

The pictures show a pretty well torn up dealership and the area around it. Looks like the parts dept and service dept were hit the hardest. One of the pictures has a 5 gal bucket, looks like paint or dry wall, and there are some long pieces of wood blown completely through the bucket. UGH!!

I can't post pictures if some one wants to I will e-mail them and let them post.
Any of the "Car Wars" pictures floating around out there? Please post'em.
