Default Re: 1969 Copo Chevelle

Received a text message from a guy and he is 99.99% sure he has the car. It was the last car he and his father restored in 2007 before his dad passed and there is no way he is ever selling the car. The car is restored as a restomod with candy red paint tan suede interior and a 396. It is at a second home out of state and he is traveling there next month for the summer and will verify the vin and let me know. Since there is know way he would ever consider selling the car I told him the history of the car and what it is...obviously he had no clue. I told him the history behind our family owning the car and tracking it over the last several months. He asked me how I new so much about the car and I told him we have the original motor my dad pulled out of the car in my garage. There was a long silent pause and he asked me how much I wanted for the motor. I told him the motor and a few other parts was the last sentimental connection to the car I have and those items are not for sale. So now if he truly has the car what the heck do I do? That motor and car need to be together.

I hope he is wrong and it's not the right car. At least then I can keep searching for the needle in the haystack with the hope of finding it. So for now I keep searching and wait impatiently for the call next month.

Tomorrow I hope to hear from George Z. and verify if the car was from Canada. With documentation and complete motor fully restored from air cleaner to pan and fan to transmission it should be an interesting story........
