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

[William]

Both Cunneen and I had done a title search on it in '82 and found the owner in OK, a name other than the ones shown here. Ed talked to him but wasn't able to get much info. The guy thought the car was originally white but wasn't sure.

Assuming it is still there, can you get body tag info?

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!
