Default 1972 LT1 Research

Hi, I've got a 1972 LT1 that was a part of the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show organization. Before the car was repainted, the previous owner said it had decals verifying that it was owned by their organization. Unfortunately, no pics were taken to authenticate. I am looking for direction to authenticate the original ownership.

Have you looked at C3registry.com?
Using Google, lots of hits on Joie C. Corvettes but none are C3.
