[1969] Explain this!

[Mark Corbin]

Hi Dave,

The roster I checked was the '03 roster, just the one most handy to grab at 
the moment. But I'm sure the info hasn't been changed. My friend, who I've 
known since, forever, is scrupulously honest, so I don't doubt, knowing him 
as I do, that this 500's info is certain. He told me about it at the last 
Florida convention, and asked, since I live in Ohio, to see if I could check 
on the Toledo car (Mr. McCoy's convert). The 500's owner's phone number was 
told to me in confidence, so I've been sitting on the info until now. Why I 
posted at this moment is a spur of the moment thing. I just have not been 
able to check on the Toledo car. So somebody's going to have to check on 
it's VIN. But it would be wild if the two DID have the same numbers! Would 
probably be the first time in history, for any car, for it to happen, if 
verified.

What is this #0338 like? Are you saying that it is really #0333? I think my 
friend found it in Indiana, as I think the phone # is an Indianapolis area 
code.

Also, just found another one not on the roster, #2520 a Monza coupe 
w/140/4speed, posi, black out, green in. It's in SC and has just been bought 
by a young guy named Cole Adcock. Car's in rough but restorable condition, 
and Cole is real enthused about doing something with it.

-Mark

Hi Mark,

I can't explain it, but I do know that there are errors in there, so
it's not surprising.  I did find that at one point we identified 0338,
located in IN, sometime in late 2011, and I wonder if there was an error
made confusing an 8 for a 3.  Also, now that I look, I'm puzzled by why
0338 didn't end up in the current roster, so have to go search my email
archives for that answer.

I'm wrapping-up revisions to the roster to get it sent out - way late
in finalizing this version - so I'll make the updates to reflect the
corrected information for 0333 and leave the other car information in
there with a "?" for the unknown VIN.  I'll also check around to see if
I can find any more info on where 0333 came from.

Where did you find Wilbur's name?  What version/issue of the roster did
you find him in?

Dave
