Great story, bet the original owner was elated to have it back.

I ended up selling the car back to the original owner in about 1994.

He was ecstatic, they even did a story about it in the local paper.

I just talked with my friend that bought the burgundy 69 Z28 new at Eriksen. During the course of the conversation he related that one of his friends looked at a new Camaro there that "had headers in the trunk." He also stated that two brothers he knows worked there and they unloaded the burgundy with red stripes car from the shipping truck along with a dusk blue 69 Z28.
