Re: 1966 Berger Chevelle SS 427/435
It seems kinda odd to me that "Berger Chevrolet" would be listed as the owner on the title. I own a '69 W-31 that raced as a new car for a little over two years. The sponsoring dealership did NOT title the car--it was raced on C.O. (certificate of origin) and still in inventory. During the car's racing seasons, the original window sticker was in place because technically it was "available and for sale". I have vintage photos to document.
I have the P-O-P dated February 1971 as delivery date (again this is a 1969) to the first owner and the car had 499 miles on it (also on the P-O-P). On the sales contract to the first buyer, the car is listed as "Company Official Car" with limited warranty. The documentation I have is bullet-proof.
Titling that car would have incurred some cost the dealership.
I'm not sying it didn't happen---but it didn't with my car or
any other "NEW" cars that were race cars from Anderson Olds in
Baltimore, MD, or any other "NEW" dealer-sponsored race cars
that I have researched.
