Any dealerships known for selling Superbirds (back in the day)?

I was too young to know.... but I've read that certain dealerships (of all makes) would become the "specialty" dealership who always stocked the HOT cars!    For example, Knafel Pontiac in Akron OH - was the performance dealership for Pontiac (Tin Indian drag cars came out of there).

Was there any Dodge or particularly Plymouth dealers that were known with that kind of reputation.   "Hey, if you want a Superbird - go to XXXXXXX - they have 50 of them!"  kind of thing

Since I don't know the history of my car (it came through a dealer auction to the dealer I can trace it back to)  I thought I might try to do some research from the other direction.

No shiplist but a allocation to certain states in link  

But you can search the Superbird phrase in newspaper.com or newspaper archives choose your state .And theres many dealer ads and private ads .Some ads include vin number

what was the dealer in Iowa that went through a bunch? 

Ken Brown in Detroit moved a number of them, and the place where our 999 car came from had like 6.

thats where my bird was sold,
it was a dealership that sold a bunch of hi performance cars

there is a photo of 2 car transport loads of AARs being delivered to the dealership, and some superbirds in the background

iirc they sold 16 superbirds,

i think that was mentioned in the superbird vin list book in the back of the book

Hmmm, I think I have a "Ken Brown" coffee cup someplace...   
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?
