I just recently located the original owner who purchased my car new in San Diego in 1976. He sent me a few pictures of the car from back then. Here's a picture of the car then and now. When I purchased the car twenty years ago from an intermediate owner, it did not have the side graphics, the original exhaust or the original rims.
  Attached image(s)

That is absolutely awesome. Put yourself in his shoes and think of some car guy calling you in 30+ years about one you loved. Always dreamed of going after the Vette my dad used to own.

Always dreamed of going after the Vette my dad used to own. That's cool. If I could find any of the previous owner's of my car, I would be in jail for murder. Based on the "work" that was done, I'm sure they were toothless carneys. |
