    Original owner search-good news

    Last night, after a 10 year search, I spoke to the original owner of my 1960 Corvette. He is 72 years old and said he is the oldest teenager in South Carolina. After driving the car for 3 years and 30,000 miles he traded it in for a Jaguar XKE. He said the XKE was the worst car he ever owned. Always in the shop for repairs. He sold the XKE and bought a GTO. Now he is in the process of building a 32 Ford high boy with a new Chevy small block.
    He is going to search his files to look for anything related to the Corvette and send them to me and I will be sending him pictures. A great phone call.

    CONGRATULATIONS! Wish I had such luck with my 1963! I know who the original owner is and I know where he lives - just can't get him to respond - guess, I will need to take a vacation to Switzerland to talk to him in person!

    KEEP US POSTED!

      Rick,

      If you're going to Carlisle, leave a message at space G-110 for Bill Braun to contact you. He is a fellow NCRS member living in Switzerland who might be able to help. You never know.

        Patrick,

        Bill and I have exchanged a number of emails - in fact he tried to talk to the old "German" gentleman and got nothing out of him - not very friendly/conversational was the way Bill described him
