Well its a long story but the short of it is I bought the car from the "family" right there in St Louis. The car was titled back in 1968 in the mothers name of Ruby Helmke for whom I believe was her son John? It looks like sister Donna ended up with it titled in her name in 1978 and thats who I bought it from. When I went to look at the car it was advertised as a "big block 1968 camaro" NOM that was one family owned. After I made the deal on the car and handed over the dough Donna's son hands me a stack of paper work from the glove box including the POP, Dealer order, and window sticker. I look it over and start getting dizzy and weak in the knees. He then tells me about his "uncle" who was a friend of this locally famous racer named Dick Harrell and how the uncle also raced a black cuda at Meinerts track. Of course I asked for the contact information for the brother/uncle and thats when Donna tells me of a family rift between the two and she has not talked to him in twenty years! It was obvious to me she did not want her brother to know the car was sold out of the family for $$$$. I've called her a couple times since and she is still not willing to give it up
