In 1999, we established our presence in the northern regions with a new store in Prince George, BC. At the same time, we opened the first of what now totals four Kamloops stores, creating a vast network of stores spanning from the Cariboo to the North Coast, and the province’s Northeast.

Since Lordco’s inception in 1974, they have been dedicated to enhancing its presence throughout British Columbia, consistently striving for accessibility and service excellence in the automotive industry. A pivotal moment occurred in 1999 when Lordco expanded into northern regions of British Columbia with the opening of a new store in Prince George, BC. This strategic move not only solidified Lordco's market position but also effectively met the increasing demand for high-quality automotive parts and accessories in the province's remote areas.

During the same time frame, Lordco embarked on another expansion effort by launching its first store in Kamloops, BC, which has since grown into a network comprising four thriving locations. This strategic initiative was instrumental in creating a robust retail footprint that spans from the Cariboo region to the North Coast and extends into the Northeast of British Columbia. These additions highlight Lordco's commitment to serving smaller communities across the province, ensuring quality service and product availability for automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Throughout its journey, Lordco has remained dedicated to innovation and customer satisfaction, continually adapting to meet the evolving needs of the automotive market. This dedication has enabled Lordco to not only expand its geographical reach but also to deepen its connections within local communities, becoming a trusted partner for automotive solutions across British Columbia.

It takes a certain kind of person to build and tame a vehicle like this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro built by Tom Katinic of TK Performance Racing. This chromoly Garrett Chassis Doorslammer boasts a 632 Sunset motor assembled by Brian Ritchie Engines, pushing an incredible 1368 naturally aspirated American horsepower. Putting all that power down the drag strip is no easy task, but a Rossler TH400 transmission and Mark Williams rear end make it a little easier.

The incredible red metal flake candy paint and bodywork, that shimmers in both the rain and shine, was done by Corvette Specialties with the airbrushing done by Nick Boose. The attention to detail is mesmerizing, with a full disassembly of the vehicle being done two winters ago for paint alongside a driveline refresh. Tom does whatever he needs to, to stay competitive in his class and continuously strives for a faster time as the 632 sings down the track, like every gearhead's orchestral dream.
