Is that what the original colors were, white w/red interior? Telling you this for motivation, my buddy AJ who is a couple years younger than I am, lives about 45 minutes from me, went searching for his uncle's '69 Z/28 about 5-6 years ago. His uncle bought it new here in Denver area when he was in the Army, kept it a few years and then sold it in the mid-late 70's. Trail went cold, no idea where it went. Years before AJ was even born. His uncle has since passed, but AJ's mom gave him an old registration along with some photo's of the car when it was new. With just the VIN on that registration, AJ somehow found the car back east, Virginia or something, and somehow got in touch with the owner. He found the car already restored to original, driver quality, and somehow talked that owner into selling it. He didn't tell me but I know he paid a hefty amount because he had to have it and now he owns his uncles old car. One of those stories you almost can't believe, but I've seen the car, I've seen the old photo's. It even came with the protect-o-plate with his uncles name on it!!!!
When I think about how many stars had to align on that deal, it's almost impossible. Yet it happened. You might be the first one ever to do some real digging on Vince's old car, I hope you find it!!! For it to disappear without a trace 57 years ago, not a piece of aluminum has ever surfaced, no photo's of it being raced elsewhere by other people, I bet it's still in the midwest somewhere, complete.....
I could be dead wrong. I probably am. Gosh dang how cool would that be tho.....
