I have been very fortunate in tracking down the second owner of my 1968 L72 Biscayne. He owned the car from July 1969-1973 after the first owner got drafted and had to sell it back to the dealership. He was thrilled to know the car still existed and in our conversations a nice friendship has developed. He has confirmed all kinds of information about the car (factory L72/M22/4.10), welded on tow tabs, cuts for electric fuel pumps, etc., and has sent me original time slips, photos and home movies of him racing it at Minnesota Dragways and other strips. I offered to pay for all of these items and he would not accept any money. He was friends with the first owner and unfortunately, when I tried to contact the first owner, found out he had passed just months before. I have offered to pay all travel expenses for the second owner to come out to Washington as I want to get photos of him with the car now, including recreating a photo of him in a t-shirt in the car from when he first bought it, 50 years apart.
