Here's a vacant building I noticed driving I-20 westbound, and seems to have had a number of car-related operations in it over the years.<\/p>\n

The name that comes up most often in google searches on 217 Plumbers Road is T O C Classic Cars & Trailer Sales<\/i> (with some variations on the name). The name is always written with spaces between the 'T', 'O', & 'C', so presumably it stands for something, but I never saw it expanded. One of the google hits gave me their old URL, and I was able to find an archived version of their site from 2005 here<\/a>, giving their mission as:<\/p>\n

\nT.O.C. Classic specializes in restoring the 1967 to 1973 Camaro.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They were in the 2008 phonebook (printed Feb 2007) but not the 2009, so presumably they closed during 2008. Perhaps they fixed all the Camaros..<\/p>\n

All I know about Summit Muscle Cars<\/i> is that they took out an ad on the autabuy site<\/a> which is still up, but which basically says nothing about the companay at all, though it does have a pretty cool flaming logo graphic.<\/p>\n

Rock Hill Public Auto Auction<\/i> is actually the first google hit for 217 Plumbers Road. The name makes its line of business pretty clear, though it is a bit mystifying why it was not in, you know, Rock Hill<\/i>..<\/p>\n

And finally Schroeder's Towing<\/i> does not show up in google at all, despite still having a sign on the building window. Given that the whole lot is surrounded by a scary electric fence, my conjecture is that it was the most recent operation in the location and needed some deterrent to people attempting to untow<\/i> their cars.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 29 March 2014<\/b> -- It's now Berkeley Outdoors<\/i>, which seems to be a boat store:<\/p>\n
