Only at the SCR

I think Jerry M has a few original owners listed in his books.

I was fortunate enough to be trailer buddies with Ken Barnhart one year at the SCR when it was in Collinsville and had a chance to meet him and his significant other, Mrs. B..... a true class act they are. His car really is &quot;something else&quot;.

Here's my question, of the original 69 ZL1's is Ken the only one to still be the original owner? I know these car change hands over the years but I'm just curious. </div></div>

Tom....it was a pleasure to meet you and see your fine L-89 ! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

As far as I know Ken is the only orig owner.

The SCR is an event that should not be missed if you can make it... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Also Bob Jane in Australia, but I'm not sure he has owned it continuously.

Years old and pulls the wheels off the ground with his 4 speed ZL1 that he bought new and runs in the 10's </div></div>

Actually he is 74 and still going strong. Every time I am with him I here more new stories about his car days gone by and they are never boring!

Here is a recent shot I took. You can add your own caption........

No Rick, Barnhart's actually 76!! I took these pics of him signing one of those new ZL1'a at Spring Vette Fest in March 2003. Great old dude... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

LOL. Guess Jerri and I need to redo our math per our discussion yesterday. I could have sword she said he was 74 but I do remember her saying he was born in '36. Regardless, never too old to race and share the fun! He still loves it more today then ever.

There's rumored to be another one sitting in a garage, ..... in Illinois, ....... still wearing the slicks and other day-2 parts from its last glimpse of daylight in 1974. And for sentimental reasons, it CAN'T be bought.

And for the record; Ken NEVER claims to be the Only Original Owner, .... just the only one we know of at this time. I'll bet he'd be thrilled to meet and talk to another. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
