Caveat Emptor...flaky rep

124679N652000

This car was for sale 2009 with fake paperwork showing the selling dealer as Martz Chevrolet. At that time it had a re-stamped T0528KA block. At one time I had all the Camaro paperwork for Martz Chevrolet and this car was not in the file. In addition, the Martz family had no recollection of the car.

Thanks for letting me know the sad news, I just read the threads on the Super Car Registry about Doug and I see many others felt the same I did about him, he had a passion for Camaros like myself, he was quite a bit older than me but still treated me the a friend and  allowed me to tour the old warehouse where I felt like a kid in a candy store every time I could afford to buy parts for the many $600.00 Camaros I had owned at the time that had the rash of Wisconsin winters.
Very Sad to hear!

We had to have crossed paths. I was there from beginning to end; 1985-1997.

I'm sure we have since I attended most of the Carlisle and Jefferson car show and swap meets I have been working on Camaros since '78 in High School in Wisconsin and move to New Mexico in '90 and to a break from Camaros while starting a new business but am back in the game with 3 Camaros and probably be getting more to restore and have fun with, are you still in Wisconsin and involved with the car seen up there?

Yup, still here in WI waiting for Spring. Sitting here on my bum is as involved as I get these days. All those years of the business cured me. The collector car hobby is fun, the collector car business not so much. Still have close friends from those days; wouldn't change a thing.

It's back with a repro window sticker.

I have re-acquired '69 Camaro paperwork from Martz Chev. This car was not in the file when the dealership was sold in 1985. Someone should do NCRS on it.

Sold at B-J Palm Beach 2013 for $47,300.
