I guesss you could say I held the original ZL -1 motor from car 34 in hostage for over ten years. I found the motor at summer carlisle and a few years later, after finding the VIN by the oil filter, I realized it was from a real car.
The day the owner of the car found me, he offered me 10k and another block. I asked how much he wanted for the car ! I never gave him a price on the block and he did not give me a price on the car. We became friends and I even visited the car in primer a few times over the years. It was a few hours away.
He called me out of the blue one Friday and gave me until Monday to buy the car?If not, he had a cash buyer. I literally cashed in all my change and rolled pennies over the weekend. ��

When I sold the car, the new owner took all colored copies of the original Gibb paperwork, shipper, etc. that I had framed. A week later I realized that I never even showed him the original paperwork. I could have kept it all, but I sent it all to him.

I felt lucky to be carekeeper of such a car for many years and did not feel right to keep the docs.

I still have time slips, and some other goodies and the Jerry M cert for the last production dated 67 Z known. Buyer never took them . Will send to current owner free of charge .
