orig owner of my car found thru syc.

[scott s]

Because of this board and the contacts it creates i was able to get together with another member (gm 26) Nick who lives in the long island n.y. area to try and locate the orig owner of my survivor 14k mile L79 chevelle.I had an old address off the orig gmac loan contract that was issued when the car was new sold out of l.i.n.y so i asked Nick if he would swing by whenever he had time and see if the guy still lived there or if anyone remembered him,well it wasen,t even a week and Nick called me back and said he still lived there but was not home, he spoke with the wife and gave her my # so her husband could contact me , she said that he may not wanna talk about the car because he was so broken up when he sold it in 1977 with 12k miles that he always regreted it. I didn,t get my hopes up to high after that comment but about an hour later he called me and said he was just talking about the car that day at work and could,nt believe it, we spoke for awhile and concluded that the car really haden,t been touched in the 29 yrs since he sold it.He special ordered the car in triple black with factory 488,s to do some racing a few day 2 items were installed and the suspension modified(for bite) possibly by motion performance(details sketchy) vintage race pic,s and whatever he still may have are going to be shared by him and its all made possible thru this board and its devoted members which i thank espically Nick who did it for the pure enjoyment of the hobby and would not accept anything for his efforts
