Re: Original Owner Interviews.
My suggestions would be:
1. Ask if their Mom or Dad ever had to drive it for them. My Grandmother (on my Dad's side, a sturdy Polish woman) had to take my Uncle's '70 SS350 4sp Camaro (w/sidepipes and L60 or M50-15's on slots) on an errand once and got pulled over by a cop. My Grandfather (on my Mom's side) took my other Uncle's '68 Coronet R/T out while the son was in Vietnam. He, too, was pulled over by a policeman, because by the time he gave it enough gas to "even out the idle" he was 20mph over the limit. Both Grandparents were let off with warnings by the surprised officers. (I would KILL for a picture of my Grandmother driving that Camaro)
2. Any story that drives home the fact that these were once regular cars. Cars that when necessary, would transport a team of little leaguers or hang a stranded snowmobile out of the trunk if the situation called for it.
3. Most satisfying win and embarassing loss in a street race.
