Default Re: Paceme's 69 Z/28....

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I recently was contacted by the original owner after five years of trying to track him down. He is a great guy who shows alot of enthusiasm for the car. Unfortunately he has been diagnosed with a terminal disease, which he has survived beyond the Dr's expectations. I recently sent him pictures, and he called me almost everyday until ofoto finally delivered them. We have been talking about getting together so that he can be reunited with HIS car. The great part of owning these cars is researching their colorful history. One quick story he told me was that he purchased a 68 Camaro new and was t-boned by a drunk driver which totaled the car (which necessitated him purchasing this one). At the same time this ended his career at the Tonawanda Engine plant (he was partially disabled by the accident). BTW he ran a cross ram on the car for a period.
