Given the huge typo on the "certificate" 1st posted - it reminded me of a scam perpetrated by a guy with a "really good printer" at home - not something worthy of the NCRS.

At least I know "where" the car came from and have a picture (below). It's cool that they actually have a Vette parked in front (thanks google earth). This is now hanging in the garage with a new windowsticker that's fairly accurate...

I got in touch with my original dealer VERY, VERY INTERESTING !!!

My heart was pounding as i'm dialing.............

The dealership was opened in 1966, & in 1977 was sold to his son, which is who I spoke with. His dad is now 85 years old. They recently ( 2009 ) were part of the "GM" wind down dealership program & lost their store ( Chevrolet Franchise ) 2 years ago they started throwing everything away, to make some room. The father saved EVERYTHING.......they had every record of every car sold. Very small mom & pop type place, in a very remote small town. The good news EVERYTHING was not thrown out, there was way too much stuff & it will take a long time to clean up, so there is still a chance that my original dealer invoice, order form & original owner info still there, how cool would that be......possibly even a copy of the bank paperwork if financed & maybe a copy of the window sticker.........but i'm not holding my breath. I told him a large reward would be fourth coming if he can turn up something.

Now if only the NCRS / CHEVROLET released this info a fews years ago
my paperwork might not have wound up in the trash after being stored / saved for over 40 years.

So i learned the history of the dealership, spoke with the son who had just graduated college & worked at the dealership the summer my car was delivered, i sent them off a few e-mails & photos & now i'm on stand by once again............maybe i'll get lucky !!

It was a great / welcomed 1/2 hour call, I felt like i was a child locating my adopted parents & finally found them on the border of Missouri & Arkansas in the Ozarks.

I'll keep you posted on the progress........in the meantime now that I had confirmation the car was from Missouri I have sent the dept of Motor Vehicles the required documents to trace my car / title history via the VIN # so I have enough info to at least get the ball rolling, lets see where that trail leads.

It's exciting to say the least / heart throbbing to be exact !!

The girlfriend thinks i'm out of my mind........she says people trace familiy history..........geneology, & you spend hour upon hour tracing the history of your car. My reply was simply this:

The little red head is my family

(about 300 miles) with the LT-1 and say hello! If nothing came of it... at least I could get a pic of the LT-1 on their lot.

Needless to say, just did not know... what may or may not be available if I did so. Thanks for the info and look forward to seeing what you and I can come up with! Sure would luv to come across my Protecto plate! Maybe I could find the info on the origianl owner... and hopefully come across it! Muddy
