Belongs to a local guy who retired to upstate SC, he lived in Chicago for years and bought parts for the car from D&R, he has owned it for ever... he and his wife searched through uhaul truck bodies years ago for the original shipper and found the bankers box marked july 69 in truck number 2.

Did he find any other shipper sheets?

Yes, he said there were LS6 sheets etc...

That's fantastic. Nice to see him driving it. Some great options and very sharp.

Thanks James. Yup that's mine. I've been on here for years learning. I appreciate the info you guys have accumulated.
I've owned this car for 36+ years. I'm the 7th owner. I have spoken on the phone to or met every owner. Even the original dealership owner who gave me access to the paperwork. This was way back in the 80's before every thing got shut down for privacy laws. I've got the Shipper, Original Bill of Sale, and the page from the dealer inventory book, showing when it was shipped and when he received it. I also have a copy of every title for the car and old pictures from some of the previous owners.
Details of the car are basically a X22 O5A 718 Norwood built. L78 M21 BU.
I've been thinking about telling it's story here for years, but I get too busy in the garage. It's a long story just from my ownership of 36 years alone. The story of tracking the original owner and paperwork took years, (before the internet).
If you guy are interested. I'll try to tell it. I get busy as I'm doing a Z11 right now.

It’s been a while since I have written up a “Feature Car” so if you want I could do that. Here is a link to the information about what is needed and previous write-ups.

Byron, Be happy to do that. Thanks for offering. I’ve always knew that this car was somewhat special, therefore I’ve always hesitated to publish it. I tend to be somewhat secretive about the car. I drive it, but never park it without my eyes on it.
I suppose you’d like to add it to the database? If so, who do I send the files to?
Back to welding on the z11.
Thanks again,
Rich

Great car with a great story! The z11 is not going to be too shabby either. Hopefully I will not be at work the next time you are in town.

Would love to hear about it, but I'm glad to see your priorities are in the right place. The garage! Enjoy...

You can send the information to me and I will see it gets added. Pics and text write up to me as well. I will add my email here - bcm66@cox.net then remove it in a few days. Thanks!

Amazing that all the paperwork has remained with the car over all these years and through all the owners. Not to mention that you've been in contact with all the previous owners. We'd love to hear the whole story on it.
-
Thats a great find, even back then. Then to track down all those owners and paperwork, impressive.
James I sent you a PM. :)

When I bought the car (1983) it had no paperwork. Just the title from the 6th owner. It took me a couple of years (pre internet and pre privacy laws) to get it all.
