Thought this was interesting - a phone note "while you were away" type message from the buyer of the car to the CHP MT in Torrance asking for records:
Similar to Rich's 85, the buyer at auction was given the ability to transfer the extended warranty. Here is the ESC card that has the buyer's info on it. (And yes, he actually had quite a bit of work done under that warranty from the paperwork):
The buyer purchased the car in May of 1988 with 85,215 miles on it. And appears he paid $5800 for it (as I have the financing paperwork from his credit union at the time).
He kept the car 20 years and have basically every receipt he ever had on the car up until 2008. That's when it looks like he parted with the car to the next owner in trade for some work, and the guy I bought it from picked it up in 2009 I believe.
Looking through the docs, I can see that the car had 1 engine put in while at CHP. Then the owner rebuilt the engine again in 1993/94. He then rebuilt the engine again in 2008 with a 331 stroker.
The silver paint on it now may not have been issued by CHP (although we know that a lot of them were painted that color grey). He had the car totally repainted in 2005 for around $4500. However, the paint on it is failing and unknown if he shot it in the same color it left MT at in Torrance. Only the assignment card will show us some of these specs.
So...there you have it. Enjoy...and discuss freely.
