Nearly two years since purchasing my 71 roadster, the PO emailed & asked if I remembered him & said he'd found the owners manual and asked if I'd like to have it. Of course I replied; adding I still enjoyed the car & was taking good care of his baby.
I didn't pay a lot for the car, nor did I steal it. The PO had owned it for about 15 years and honestly described the car, I had a shop inspect, then I personally inspected, I'd done my homework and bought it below market; I could've flipped it immediately for at least 115%-120% of my total cost to acquire it from some 900 miles away ... probably more today. And it's been a great matching car ... & was NOT an ebay find.
Well ... the mail arrives today ... there's a package from PO ... inside are many papers ... including original signed-off new vehicle inspection procedure (form GSD99 Rev 2-71) ... and Warranty ... and ... and its Protect-O-Plate!
Sold at Cowell & Sons Chevy of Chester IL to Pat Dennis of Chester ... and get this ... SOLD ON MY BIRTHDATE (of course not same year)! Apparently Cowell is defunct ... dunno 'bout Dennis.
My hat's off to PO ... honestly sold car ... then when he uncovers docs 2 years later ... takes the time & expense to mail them to me ... thank you Sir!
