I nominate you 12bolt.

[/ QUOTE ]I'll Gladly assist in any way I can, but it would be a Blow to the History of General Motors that a "FORD Nut" Had to do something that it's entire Legion of Followers could not! What we need is someone that is in touch with the Masses. I mean a Guy or Gal who is respected by The Camaro Clubs, Corvette Guys, Yenko Fans etc. and can Rally their Support. If That guy or Gal even exists I do not know. I am going to use an unrelated car story to prove a Point here. Carroll Shelby made 6 Daytona Coupe's for Racing. in 1968 they were all sold at the end of the Racing season for Roughly $4500.00 apiece. the 1970's rolled around and interest in Shelby Cars, Race History, etc. led to the Forming of The Shelby American Automobile Club. They started a registry for all The Shelby Cobra's, Mustangs, and GT 40's and yes the Daytona Coupe's. well they could only locate 5 Coupe's. for 26 Years People searched, chased leads. Nothing. a Few Years ago, a Guy who had just become interested in Shelby Cars, Read that there was a Missing Car. He Contacted SAAC Headquarters and inquired. Rick Kopec, (Leader of SAAC) Laughed as this guy claimed he wanted to locate this car. He said, "Go ahead, many other's have tried in Vain for years and failed." Kopec provided him with the details of the Cold case and never expected to hear Back from him again. The Guy in less than a few Days Locates the car! It became an insane Tragic story that ended up with so Much Drama it should be made into a Movie! I will post a Link to the Story later. anyway, my point I am trying to make is that all The "Experts" could not do in 26 Years, what a New Shelby Fan pulled off in a matter of Days! So Much for Pessimism! That Car by the Way, sold for $4 Million Dollars to a Philadelphia Neuro Surgeon in a Private sale. God only knows what a Drunken B-J Crowd would Pay for it today! Just because other Experts have attempted this so Far and FAILED, does not mean that you Give up! If you cannot go over the wall, Then Dig under it. When that proves Futile, Blast right through it! I am Certain that there are many "Legal Knowledge" Types assembled on this site, or belonging to GM Car clubs that could come up with a Plan. It all starts with a Plan. Then when presented to "John Q. Chevy Owner" at a Car show, He will gladly sign a petition or whatever the plan entails.
