I had a few good looks at Warren's JL8 car in 2019 at MCACN, but never did manage catch up to him at the show. Here are a few pictures that I captured that weekend where I was back to study the car on at least 3 occasions.

I was told of Warrens battle with Cancer, but was still saddened to read of his passing this week. RIP Warren...and may there be a silver Z lining those clouds for you on the other side.

Condolences to his family and his close friends. He will be missed.

Unfortunately these types of announcements are becoming more frequent as we all age. It's a good reminder to get those projects finished and enjoy them while you can and make more time for your family and loved ones.

While I didn't know Warren personally, but sounds like he was a great guy and quite an asset to our beloved hobby.

Condolences to family and friends.

Warren enjoyed being a contrarian.

Two topics we occasionally discussed were a bare block from a COPO in his possession. Casting 3955270 cast I 4 8 stamped T0122MN. Has an April VIN stamp.

The other was a 576 mile COPO he had known of for decades, raced since new. Late [8/69] production car, still has the custom paint applied back in the day. He went to check it out last March and sent a number of pics. Still has its original trunk lid, untouched Dusk Blue paint on the inside. It's a welded tab lid, dated D11.

Sure will miss those chats.

I'm very sorry i didn't see this thread sooner......and incredibly sad to hear of his passing.
I won't claim to have known Warren very well, but we did correspond in detail over the years after learning we both owned 04A LA-assembled Z/28s. He helped me locate some tough-to-find parts, and even went on a road trip to pick up, and forward on to me, a pair of 15x4 Cragars that popped up on CL.

A true gentleman of the hobby. RIP Warren.
