I don't understand why Chevy thought that the POP would remain with the cars. I see people all day selling the owner's manuals that comes with cars and it pisses me off. Those belong to the car not to you.

Are you saying people are selling the POP/manual from a cars that are in fact still around? That would piss me off too. I do see manuals that have POPs for sale, but the cars are long gone. Some guys clean out glove boxes from cars being scrapped at a junk yards and sell them. Better to save it and pass it on than have it burned up or run through a shredder.

I bought a 69 Z/28 (sans engine/trans/front seats) in the summer of 1971 from the a salvage pool. Theft recovery car.

Had the P.O.P. in the glove box. I immediately recognized the name. Guy named Cyrus Wheeler bought it new (or his dad did). Cy was about my age, but we went to different schools. I knew the car well (didn't know it was THAT car when I bought it). It was a terror on the street with cross ram.

I had no use for the POP in 71, so I pitched it. I am certain this is an all too familiar story.
