Default Re: Original owner muscle cars.

Since we are talking about storyies and people, I was at a Super Chevy Show in Montgomery. A gentleman with an orange COPO with ZL1 engine was telling me about a feud of an owner over some engine and body of a 69 COPO car. Supposedly the story went that an orignal owner of a COPO car had his car stolen not to long after he had bought it. The car was stripped and sold in pieces. Later on, like years or something like that, he got the body and chassis back. He also found where the orginal engine was, somewhere in Canada I think he said. And supposedly there is a feud between the two parties know as one or the other will not part with their parts. For any price.

Any one know of this story. The person telling me of it was nice and talked to me for awhile. I was shocked cuz I have found down her that these guys (car collectors)aren't easy to talk with.
