Default Looking for previous owners

I have a couple names of the previous owners of my new Vette.

One is a guy named Bruce B. from Washington

The other is a guy named Keith G. from Washington

The car in question is a red 1972 coupe.

If you are one of these men, or know who I am talking about, please let me know.

Thanks.

You don't have full last names or you don't want to post them?

I didn't want to post them, to keep their privacy.

I have found some phone numbers in the file that came with the car.

I have receipts dated back to 7-19-1989 for Keith G at Pacific Corvette. Then I have some receipts in 89, 90, & 91 from Bill Hazelett Chevrolet. There is nothing from 1991 to 1994. He last insured the car from July 1994 to Jan 1995.

Bruce B. bought the car around July 15, 1999. It had been sitting since 1994, according to the first receipts from Rick Star Corvette in Kirkland, WA.

He sold it to Johnny G. in 2006 or 2007. I bought it from Johnny's daughter after Johnny passed away. The car is basically like it was when Bruce sold it to Johnny.

I am currently waiting on the weather to clear, and a driver to pick up the car and deliver it to me. Johnny's daughter mailed me the file. I don't know if having all the paperwork and not car is making me fell better or not. I REALLY WANT MY CAR!!!!!

Bill B. told me his uncle, George B. said his father-in-law, Bruce B. owned the car. Hope that helps.

Ha Ha Ha

The guy, Bruce, will be 63 years old this new years eve, according to an insurance policy in the file. I called all the phone numbers in the file, and left messages for him. I am sure there are some people in Washington wondering what the heck I am trying to do.

He put a LOT of money in this car over the years, and it is obvious that he cared for it, so I thought it would be cool to talk to him about it.
