Short update…
I was finally able to get in touch with the second owner who purchased the car from the Taylor family.
This fellow was pretty adamant that the car had been brought to Motion for Joel to have work done on it.
He said once he paid for the car, he had a difficult time getting the car and had to send a recovery outfit to grab the car.
I was able to obtain Ray May’s contact info including his current address in LA and was able to go by his house on Sunday.
I was a bit intimidated to go knock on the door but finally got up enough courage and the son in law answered the door. He did confirm Mr. May had a corvette “back in the day” but after excusing himself to go ask Mr May if he wanted to speak with me he didn’t want to at this time.
I explained to the SIL I was trying to get some historical info on a car and was hoping he could help fill in some gaps.
I ended up leaving my name and number and my guess is I’ll never get a call back.
