Looking for original owner.
 
I'm looking for William B. Allen he lives at Fifth Green Court in Gardnerville NV. Formerly from Torrence Ca. Anyone here know of him? He was the original owner of my 1966 Malibu. I purchased the car back in 2003 from Lothar Landes of Minden NV. Lothar bought the car from William at Hot August Nights I believe in 2002.

Thanks, Dave.

Good news, Check your PM's

Lee, I can't thank you enough. I spoke to William for almost an hour. He told me about the history of the 36 years of ownership. He's 85 years young. He was a former aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. He doesn't own a computer so I'm going to send him some photos of the car. He was an unbelievable caretaker of the car,. Always garaged and babied. He kept a little Black book for the maintenance of the vehicle. He also has all the hard copies of maintenance that he's going to mail me. He said his wife always tells him that he should have never sold it. Thanks again for tying the loose end.

Glad it all worked out!!!
When I first called he was understandably a little apprehensive, but after 2mins he was happy to talk, and let me say that you are correct in stating 85yrs young, the guy was very sharp.

Sounds like a great excuse to take a summer cruise from MA to NV.

I love stories like this.

There really can't be any question about that, IMHO. :youguysrock:
