All,
I have been doing extensive research to try to determine the ownership history of my '64 convertible. Through various sources, I've worked my way back to a previous owner in Maryland. I contacted him and he generously spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me reminiscing about the car. In the course of our conversation, I asked him where he originally bought the car in 1993. He told me that, although he could not remember the person's name (he is continuing to rack his brain for me...), that he recalled that the car was in Middleburg, Virginia. The seller, he went on to say, had a collection of Corvettes, in fact, he described the location as almost seeming like a "Corvette farm", but when I asked him if it was a dealership, he said it definitely was not. In fact, the man who sold him the car apparently had to get rid of one of his Vettes to make room for his wife's new car, so it was definitely a private seller.
I know this is a long-shot, but would anyone know of anyone who might have had a Corvette collection in or around Middleburg, VA in 1993 or thereabouts? The previous owner I spoke with seemed to recall that this collector owned my car from 1965 to 1993, which would go a long way to completing the car's ownership history for me. By the way, the car was a silver convertible, white convertible top, 250-hp, 3-speed.
As I said, this is a long-shot, but if this rings any bells for anyone, I'd be very grateful if you could let me know.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
