ZL-1 Camaro #61 info for Public domain (or posterity?)

William,

The guy I spoke to (and person it was last titled to that I know) has a last name of Blehm, and was living in Hemit, CA (when he called me).

He was from Loyal, OK or at least lived there when he had the ZL-1 titled in OK.

I don't remember if he said if the car is still in Oklahoma or not, it's been 10 years since I spoke with him.

I kinda got the impression that he was living in CA due to a job but I'm not real sure. Maybe he's now a full time permanent resident and has no desire to go back to Oklahoma??!!.

I told him when I talked to him what color the car was, and what color interior it had originally.

I had read that in the COPO book, or from some "other" source (I can't remember). He acted like he sorta didn't know it had been a white car.


Charley,

No. After hearing him describe it (or at least being TOLD about it by him), I didn't even pursue it. Who knows, maybe that's his intention... to put people off.. don't really know.

My reason like I said, of posting this, is to possibly prevent the VIN plate and hidden numbers (if any remain) from accidentally "falling off" THIS car, and winding up on a mint low mile 6 cylinder body, and presented as a "mint low miles ZL-1 Camaro". Albeit minus original engine. But hey, maybe it might "magically" appear from a past owner... wink wink. (which actually MIGHT be true). Ya never know.

Unless you know how, you can't do a title search anymore, so future buyers can't back-track paperwork like once was possible and find out any of the "race car" history this thing had or might have had.

They might be told it's had a gentle life tucked away in a climate controlled garage.

That's the name I have in my 20-year old data. Since it was registered it seems to indicate it was on the street at some time in its history.

There was/is? another ZL-1 in OK that must be on an open title as it has been at the same non-extant address for many years.

#61 can never be a cherry, numbers-matching resto but it could be a neat nostalgia drag car.

I know I'd have some fun with it!
