Found the original owner of my new '67 Z-28!

[Zedder]

Well, I lucked out today and found the original owner of my new Z! Another previous owner had listed all of the owners of the car for me and after some creative spelling I contacted what I believed to be the second owner of my car. After confirming that he was the fellow I was looking for I asked him when he owned it. He replied that he was the original owner. Since I had a bill of sale for the car that had someone else's name on it I thought he was going to tell me a tall tale. I mentioned the paperwork I had and he knew exactly what I was talking about. He told me that the dealership had two '67 Z's on the lot at that time - one red and one green. They had to produce sold orders to get the cars, so they made up two names and got the orders placed. The guy who bought my car really wanted the red car, but the owner of the dealership's son had already spoken for the car.

He is going to document all of this in a letter to me and said he will look for any pics that he might have of the car. He traded the car back to the dealer for a new 70 1/2 Z-28. Man, I love small towns...people just don't seem to move around as much as those from larger cities, and this makes the hunt much easier!
