1968 z28 bought in Winter Haven, FL in 1984
« on: November 24, 2016, 04:08:05 PM »
Hey everyone! Just another story of tracking down the previous owner of my fathers 68 z28 bought in Winter Haven back in 1984. He was in the Navy when he bought it from a guy who blew up the original 302 and put a big block chevelle motor in hit. He had it at a drag strip often and my dad can't remember the guys name or how to track him down. I've read about all the issues about trying to track previous owners down through the DMV since 1994. Any advice or help would be great
VIN: 124378N429346

Thanks again,

Joe

Not sure how to make the picture on my phone small enough to load up. He's back home in Pittsburgh and I'm getting ready to retire from the Army and move back. Once I get there I will try and get one on here but thanks for the greetings. It was painted when he bought it but over the years he's been slowly working on it. Working on two cars makes both go slow so he set that one aside for a while to focus on the other one.

I use an app called reduce photo size on my phone. Works great.
Winter Haven is a nice town and I have been to the car show they have on the square a couple times. Nice place.

Ok cool I'll check it out and hopefully get one up in a few minutes. I've never been there he's had the car longer than I've been alive lol. I'm sure he knows exactly where your talking!
