Sorry for the delay on getting back with this post. I want to first thank Steve for letting DRCE500/Tom and I discuss the history of the Z28. Tom and I have had multiple conversations over the last couple of days about 68 Z28. I found out that the owner I bought the Z from promised Tom the first fight right of refusal when he was ready to sell the car. Tom having the same passion for the car that I do, I completely understanding why he was upset and hurt when he saw that I bought the car. I have made the same promise to Tom, he will have the first right of refusal when I sell the car.
Tom and I met in person today and had a long conversation about the car. To my surprise, Tom had the original POP for the car and was excited about reuniting it with the car. Now the car has the window sticker, order invoice, delivery invoice, original insurance card and POP! Other things Tom and I have determined; The car also came with the original exhaust manifolds and smog. We are unsure at this time if the engine is original to the car or a re-stamp with all original components.
It was wonderful getting to know Tom, he is a great car guy who had a reason to have been upset by his long time friend broke a promise...
