Re: LS6 El Camino, Fresh Frame-0ff, 1 Owner, +++Do
Hey Mark. Good question and one that I have toiled with over the years. I neither support nor refute this implied definition. But, it seems to have to do with whether you register the car for your own personal use or perhaps it has to do with the length of time you own it. Even our own, Colin, uses this term on some of his cars - see this '71 Plymouth 'cuda 340 or this '70 Boss 302 Mustang currently for sale. For me it is all about due diligence. Just as you scrutinize the "numbers matching" or "original drivetrain" or "original buildsheet", or "documented owner history", you would investigate the "one owner" aspect as well. If you, no kidding, want to be the one that buys the car off of the fellow or gal who originally bought the car back in 197X, it should be obvious to you that, in the case of Colin's 'cuda, that he was either not born or just a wee little tike.

Re: LS6 El Camino, Fresh Frame-0ff, 1 Owner, +++Do
Number of owners registered or not has never had a bearing on me purchasing a car. Example the 67 L78 presently for sale was a one owner when I purchased it, subsequently it has changed hand six times and only 300 miles have been put on the car since(still the same car to me). The key is the originality/pedigree and integrity of the car. Those are the elements I use to purchase a car.

Welcome to Collector Car Law 101. It's 5:00 PM and that means it's time for a new collector car term: Of course class, we will spend the remainder of the semester discussing the definition of the CPAFIOBWOPTASITBNRPII. "Car Previously Acquired From Its Original Born-With Owner Prior To Any Subsequent Interdicting Transferals Between Non-Registering Possessors In Interest." Take careful notes, this will be on the final exam... (BTW, awesome El Camino, nice job on the resto  )
