I've been active on the list for the last few days (+/-) researching and enjoying the commentary. My car came with documentation which I'm now starting to understand and appreciate the rarity. I have the Protec-o-plate which obviously includes original owners address. I pasted it below if anyone would like to decode
. I blocked-out the original owner's name because I would not want that published if it were my name. Either way, I searched the web and found credible information that suggests the original owner is alive and well living in the same house he did back in 1969
.
So, what to do? I wrote him a letter last night and included pictures of the car. I think I would really enjoy that if someone sent me pictures of a an old car I sold back in the younger days. I also asked him if he could share a few stories with me. I'm hoping that I'm not being intrusive, but the "story" would be priceless. I enclosed a self-addressed stamped envelope for him to mail me back anything that would give me a peek of perhaps a small portion of the last 49 years. If anyone is interested in this journey, I'll post updates. The letter was mailed today 21Mar2018. As Tom Petty said, "the waiting is the hardest part"......
(also included a blocked pic of the car as it sits in a storage facility)
