William,
The guy I spoke to (and person it was last titled to that I know) has a last name of Blehm, and was living in Hemit, CA (when he called me).
He was from Loyal, OK or at least lived there when he had the ZL-1 titled in OK.
I don't remember if he said if the car is still in Oklahoma or not, it's been 10 years since I spoke with him.
I kinda got the impression that he was living in CA due to a job but I'm not real sure. Maybe he's now a full time permanent resident and has no desire to go back to Oklahoma??!!.
I told him when I talked to him what color the car was, and what color interior it had originally.
I had read that in the COPO book, or from some "other"
source (I can't remember). He acted like he sorta didn't know it had been a white car.
Charley,
No. After hearing him describe it (or at least being TOLD about it by him), I didn't even pursue it. Who knows, maybe that's his intention... to put people off.. don't really know.
My reason like I said, of posting this, is to possibly prevent the VIN plate and hidden numbers (if any remain) from accidentally "falling off" THIS car, and winding up on a mint low mile 6 cylinder body, and presented as a "mint low miles ZL-1 Camaro". Albeit minus original engine. But hey, maybe it might "magically" appear from a past owner... wink wink. (which actually MIGHT be true). Ya never know.
Unless you know how, you can't do a title search anymore, so future buyers can't back-track paperwork like once was possible and find out any of the "race car" history this thing had or might have had.
They might be told it's had a gentle life tucked away in a climate controlled garage.
