Default Re: 1969 Z/28 Trans Am Race Car Found

The previous owner of the car was a "Hoarder" of sorts... He was/is a true car person. He has a piece of property that has well over 20 vehicles on it in all sorts of conditions... He has his Triumph race car that he raced in the 1970's sitting in the weeds next to his house! He was friends with Ken Stoodart. When the car came up for sale sometime in the 1970's he purchased the car and stowed it away in his building... Some local people knew he had the car... The town he lives in wants him to clean up his yard so increasing pressure from them made him consider selling off some of his pride and joy vehicles... I was lucky enough to receive a call from a good friend of mine informing me of the car. Wasting no time I drove out to see the car.. After a few weeks of negotiating I purchased he car... I am not sure at this point if I am going to restore it or pass it on to someone who is looking for a real documented Trans Am Z/28 race car... I am restoring a 1969 Z/28 X77 Daytona Yellow factory M22 car right now... This would be my fourth 1969 Z/28 restoration...

So it was ordered from Martin Chevrolet and sold-delivered thru Ewald? Just wondering how this would happen, and have the Martin paperwork if it was a dealer trade, or why order it for another dealer? Or was this a replacement POP from Ewald...?? What dealer sold this car? Neat car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I think the car was a dealer trade? The car had all of its fab work done by a company in Beaverton Michigan called Howe Racing Enterprises Inc. I have the original drawing with welding splatter on them! Maybe the car was delivered to this dealership and then to the fab shop??? I have tried every number I could find to locate Mr. Stoddart... No luck!!!

I was wondering the same thing. Also, is Ken Stoddart still alive and, if so, have you made contact with him?
