1969 Z/28 - Locating Previous Owners
I just purchased a 69 Z/28 that was originally sold out of Cagle Chevrolet Inc. in Lake Charles Louisiana. It came with a lot of previous owners’ information such as a Protect-O-Plate, old photos, applications for certificate of title and passenger car registration forms, an application for a warranty transfer through Chevrolet Motor Division form from one owner to another, loan disclosure statements, owner’s vehicle identification cards, bill of sales, vehicle registration forms and certificate of titles.
This car intrigues me so I have decided to try and track down all the owners in the USA and talk to each of them about their history with the Camaro. I have always loved doing this sort of investigative work just so I know what the little car has been through……the good, the bad and the ugly. If I have the names/addresses (old addresses) of all the previous owners, is there a process or website I can go to to get current contact information to start my journey? A BIG shout out to the last owner from Texas, Larry Feidler (Port Neches Texas). I was able to track him down via Facebook and he has been great to talk with and is still a current 1969 Camaro owner. He has supplied me with all sorts of valuable photos and details about the Z/28. Any help would be appreciated. Paul |

I'm eager to hear the responses to your post. I have also tracked down previous owners on my 69 Z all the way back to the early 70's but just can't get information on the original owner.

I would see if there is a family member still living there. Cold calls out of the blue are typically unwanted and don’t usually don’t bear fruit. Write some heartfelt letters and see if you get any response.

Thanks guys for the input.
I originally tried a few sites myself and since then, tried both suggestions here and came up with almost the identical information.....pretty much squat. I do realize privacy laws exist and that combined with the passing of time makes this a tough process. As far as a heart felt letter, that was a great idea I never thought of. I will see if I can muster something up and send out some letters. If something bounces back, I will let you know. Paul |

A buddy sent a nice letter to a previous owner along with a fifty dollar bill taped in there, got an immediate response.

Here's a story about locating his old Trans Am.
