Advice on getting information from a former owner

[CopoFan]

Hi Steve,

Man, thats even worse than my story, thats so strange, especially how excited he got. Maybe he got all depressed after seeing it, who knows.

Here's an angle I just thought of, and one that maybe you can try.

I'm going to ask him if I can come by his house with my car to take a picture of him next to it, since I'm going to put together a poster of the history of the car for shows. Tell him I'd love to have his name and picture on this to give him credit for being the 2nd owner, painting it, etc. I think this may give some incentive. Especially since I've already run into a couple of people who remember this car from back when he owned it in the 70's.
