Not that I an questioning your recollection Charley, but based on my limited conversations with Joel...and what I have seen regarding cars that he has and has not documented, I don't believe he has much paperwork on the vehicles that he worked on.(I may be wrong)...jmho

I'd really like to see one example of a car that he documented using HIS paperwork and not the car owner's.

Joel had all the paperwork on the 2 cars I bought from him. They are 1980s cars but he did save all the 15 yr old paperwork on them.

When I bought the cars from him, he was in the process of moving from NY to FL. I went to his home and he was selling off some items and had boxes of old stuff. The box my paperwork was in was from the 1980s but he opened another box and was 1960s stuff in there, he pulled out an old time slip and gave it to me. It is for an 11 sec pass in a 1969 Corvette at Atco Dragway. He sold me some old tee shirts, Jackets, decals, signs, and other items from the 60s 70s and 80s.

He had another box with copies of old original pictures from the 1960s from when he was working on a project with Ertl Models.

Some of the old photos were taken by Marty Schorr for Cars Magazine.

Joel had Ertl make some of the models to the original pictures.

He gave me a photo of the 1968 Motion Chevelle race car.

I was told back in the 1980s when people were hunting down Motion cars, Joel was working with a private investigator who helped find original owners that Joel had the names of. Some cars were found and in some cases the cars were long gone but the original owners still had paperwork and pictures and gave it to Joel.

There were other ways where Joel was able to get some original paperwork and put it with known cars and some paperwork was found but the cars were not found.
