I contacted two members on this site last year when I found the original 375HP CA 396
motor to the 1 of 2 Bill Thomas 427 converted cars . Both members told me they knew who owned it but werent willing to either give me the owners name, or give the owner my contact info. It would have even been understandable if they wanted to try and make a profit for the info, but neither was interested in that either. While I dont usually hunt down owners of motors and transmissions i have, I thought that car might be an exception.........I have a few camaro guys that want it as its a very rare MR code CA 375HP , but if anyone knows the owner of the red Thomas car ,here you go.

Awesome of you to try to reunite the motor with the car! Several years ago I was in a similar position as you, but with a car that had been sold through RM Auctions. RM also would not give me the new owner’s contact info. That protection of info does make some sense, but instead RM did offer to take my contact info and pass it on to the new owner. They did just that, and the owner did contact me, and I was able to reunite the motor to his car. Maybe it makes sense to try Mecum one more time, but using this approach instead. If Mecum still sticks with their original suggestion that would be too bad.
