I think the original owners "buy" story was probably more interesting then his "sell" story, in that he apparently became less and less interested in the car as gained value over the last few years. I'm sure he loved the car.... after all, he kept it 35 years!

I thought it was really interesting that he made that last minute change as shown on the Dealer Invoice.... trading off side exhaust and rear defogger for the leather seats.

Even more interesting was the chance meeting Tim (my friend who started this thread) had with Dennis (orig. owner) at a vintage race at Road America last year. Dennis said that he was actively considering ordering it as a ZL1, but at the time decided the additional cost wasn't worth it!!!

After all..... it was just another car that he was going to go drag racing with.

He picked up the car at the dealership, and almost before the plastic was off the seats, drove straight to a race shop and had it set up for the drag strip.
