Default Famous Previous Owners???
Anyone have a C4 with a famous previous owner? Chocolate Myers was the original owner of mine (I'm the 3rd). I had never heard of him but apparently he was Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s pit crew chief.

I've met several baseball stars, some wrestlers, and the Pope's plane once flew over my house. Should I sell my autograph?

Well, maybe not famous but those who have followed NASCAR for a while certainly remember him - same time frame as Harry Hyde, Suitcase Jake Elder, and others. Don't think I'd pay anything more for the car, but fun to know.

Very few buyers will purchase because of a celebrity link. It's really not a big deal to most people. Small market. Bob McDorman bought a lot of them. He bought my old 1960 Burt Reynolds car.
