CF;

Putting this out in hopes that someday someone might do a search and find it.

Want to find the previous history of my 1970 LS-5 Mulsanne blue.

The owners that I bought it from were Brian and Deanna Duvall of Edmond, OK (formally KS). They purchased the car in 1987 or so and said it was found in a field in Nebraska in the condition in the pictures. (rode hard and put up wet)
Brian unfortunately passed away and I bought it from his widow so much of the story and history of how they found it was lost.

Car built on first day of 1970 production and was sold at Bill Allen Chevrolet in North Kansas City, MO. So from new to 1987 has got to be interesting

If anyone has a lead please reach out to me. I've registered the car on the C3 registry and all my searches have turned up nothing on the Net regarding the tag number or the VIN.

So maybe someday if someone is doing an electronic search the tag or VIN will pop up for them.

Nebraska Tag 2-C6349

VIN 194670S400133

Best regards

Hi Don,
Sorry, no history help!
But, what a terrific bit of work on that car!

County "2" in Nebraska was Lancaster county (Lincoln is both the county seat and state Capitol.). I'd try going to the county and see if there are records there.

Just talked with the prior owner (widow).

She told me that the car was seen in a field in Lancaster Country (where they lived at the time). Apparently Brian had a business friend (something to do with the grain business) that was a trucker who saw it in the field and he alerted Brian of this. She said that she would keep an eye out for any original bill of sale or paperwork but did not recall a name of who they bought it from.

Also of note is that the LS-5 engine was rebuilt or worked on by a guy in the Kansas City area that worked on Corvette's. She remembered his last name as CROCKETT. could not remember his first name.

Anyone know someone in KC named Crockett who does/did Corvette work??

thanks

Don, Here's a link to the Lincoln Corvette club. It's a pretty big club, maybe some help there?
