Hi Steve, Yes your friend Al was able to help out, he put me in touch with a Sam Risley from Frenchtown NJ who was the New car manager at Taylor Chevy where the car was sold new. Sam remembers driving the car in a parade in Frenchtown he believes it was a town anniversary. Sam said Taylor Chevy ordered many L78 cars they liked the HP cars. The owner of Taylor is somewhere in Florida but he didnt know where. The car was bought by the registered owner before me in 1971 at Smith Ford in Washington NJ Sam said that dealer is still around and I should try and get ahold of them they could still have some records of the previous owner. I havent tried since that was over 30 years ago and wouldnt know where to start.
I also was checking up on the idea of it being the pace car for Flemington Speedway and 2 people said in 69 the Pace car was a 69 Indy pace car. Thanks for the help.
